The thought of commuting knowing there’s a blanking panel over a switch for an option I didn’t specify chills me to the very core.

There's a mega-mileage Vantage on Autotrader for £24k at the moment. Should be a better bet than the C63.

Are you spending £20k on a low spec diesel c-class then?

I can arrange for a nice pair of Regatta action sandles (size 9, some heavy staining) at an unreasonable price to be delivered.Rich B wrote: Tue Apr 24, 2018 6:28 amPerhaps if he bought her expensive gifts? Some Jimmy Choo shoes or Tiffany Jewellery - there’s a slim chance he may get to take her out (depending on how loose her morals are - hopefully very loose)....

"I've still got it", he says under his breath as he walks away but really he knows he's lying even to himself. Where did it all go wrong? When did he become forever stranded on the sidelines of life?
There are C200 guys, then there are C63 guys.
He thinks he’s cracked it, he wants to see her more and more, but she’s only after the money. In the meantime the mortgage isn’t getting paid and his savings are dwindling, he’s trying to live two lifestyles and not making ends meet....
She realises the cash cow can’t last and moves onto the flashy twat in sales, Mr Drab is left back where he started but with no savings and an angry wife....

Only plane I've had which was cheaper on fuel to fly than to leave parked up...JLv3.0 wrote: Tue Apr 24, 2018 12:01 pm Yes, I think so. Does anyone have any real-world experience of running an SR-71 for a year?

Stretch the budget and the V60 is a good shout, not the T4 posted but the Polestar. These are bloody quick and rare too.

Ows about a 2015 C300e Hybrid Estate with 140k for £12k ?

You mean a C350e shirley? C300 hybrid was C300h. (diesel/electric)
It seems that someone in Mercedes is listening to me. They've just released the C300 estate/saloon and also now have started doing non-AMG petrol e-classes. This throws my decision up in the air! Might have to save up for a C300 Estate

C300 estate it is. Just need to save a little more. May get something cheap as a cover in the interim.
Why didn't the fuckers release it here when they first launched the W205 C Class I don't know...

(C300 sounds good from the criteria though)

Funnily enough this whole thing started with a Mk5 Mondeo (seeing as our Mk4's are the best car on the planet) and seeing how they're pretty well specced whilst still being cheap.
Unfortunately the local Ford dealership network is absolute pony, the Mk5 is reputedly built worse than the Mk4 (because it was mostly designed in the states) and frankly, I just wanted something better.
The C is a lovely place to sit and I liked it on the test drive. /thread

I tried to look up the C300 on Merc's website, but nevermind (see Pisch's moaning thread). What's the spec?
