Interesting - I too have a 100K mile Mercedes Avantgarde, a late 2004 C270CDI Estate, which I've owned since it was 5mths old. Needs MOT later this month and I'm dreading it, as the car is all but worthless now. I'd been wondering what to replace it with.
The "£1000 discount if you take our 0% finance" is something we had from Honda a few years ago - slaesman told me Honda wanted all its customers on PCP and was prepared to incentivise (bribe?) them. Sure enough we got a lot of pressure to move to a new PCP as the old one was running out. I believe Toyota pioneered PCPs.
