Sorry Dan, with it being winter my tastes are distinctly Mercedes shaped at the moment
Found this lovely one the other day, but need to eBay the Citroen first (and stop a pesky warning light coming on)

Re: The 'suggest a new car for Chris' thread
That second picture is a good one
Quite a quick sale, can't be easy selling a 7 during the dark winter months, especially in the current car climate. You know you just want some comfort for a while when a Merc barge replaces it

Won’t that be in the £650 tax range?
How about not having a sig at all?

The wear on the steering wheel seems to indicate it's not been driven by a helmsmith but has sat on motorways for a long, long time.speedingfine wrote: ↑Sun Dec 10, 2023 4:24 pm Sorry Dan, with it being winter my tastes are distinctly Mercedes shaped at the moment

I don't particularly like Mercs but I think I'd tollerate that one.

Re: The 'suggest a new car for Chris' thread
It's finally happened 2004 S320 CDI two owners, FSH, in lovely condition. 115k. No pics yet sorry, but it's a silver W220 with dark blue leather and some dubious wood trim. Obvs everything's crossed that I don't have any expensive problems...
Re: The 'suggest a new car for Chris' thread
That sounds great! Probably a much safer purchase than a similar age Range Rover.

Re: The 'suggest a new car for Chris' thread
Yeah they're cheap for a reason I suppose, but I've bought as well as I can on condition and history I think...
It is bloody lovely though, driven a couple of hundred miles since collecting it yesterday and apart from the shear size of the thing in towns it's spot on.

That looks ideal for some relaxing miles. Perfect colour too.

That's set me off looking at them on eBay
Really loving the spec and consistency of servicing intervals on this one, sounds like a great example.
