What Have You Done To Your Merc Today?

[John Laidlaw]

It's quite well specced ;-)

Stop! It's my job normally to egg folks on to upgrade

I know, this is karma ;-) Go see it, YKYWT

 

[Rotorhead500]

It's talking to you John... it would be rude to ignore it! :twisted:

 

[Submariner1]

A good point, however I was trying to avoid continuance of the open wallet surgery I've had to endure over the past year...albeit Dave's is entirely voluntary and justified! ��

This should fit the bill

Immaculate CL500 4 Services , kept in a dehumidified storage facility
2010 and 19,000 miles. One ****** fastiduous owner. £23,000 for openers.
Pop it in for a MAin Dealer service and get Mobilo Breakdown. Add £650 for a Warranty Direct inclu. ABC stuff . Trouble free motoring. Or ar least should be

What I will be looking for, once sorted the new house with a decent garage.and a lift

I would be shocked if this was not a really genuine car. Looks like new.

It does indeed...

It will teach me, but .....4 seats is not going to persuade SWMBO in my cunning plan...therefore E63 it is, think I can be happy there

Beauty indeed and looks straight, but as above....4 seats is a no

Ha ha ha - you've all been learning from me!

Well that doesn't sound convincing at all!!!!!, the CLS SB has 5 seats ;-)

 

[Rotorhead500]

Yeah, W218 onwards offered a 5-seat option....

Next excuse please! ;-)

 

[Submariner1]

I'd class them as baby seats. No adult could sit in those imo
I think of it as anextremely spacious 2 seater lol

Or as the girl who helps me do corporate portraits said,
You should run a competition to see, which girls could get out of those elegantly.

Well I dont think I KNOW...
Deposit paid already, roll on 1st March, so....meantime no point in throwing more temption my way!

 

[John Laidlaw]

Out with the old in with the new...

Well, the deed is done, put the deposit down on an E63 AMG 5.5 V8 Bi-Turbo.
If all goes to plan I will pick it up 1st. March.
It's been a rocky road sometimes with the SL, tears of pain and joy equally. A flawed beauty is probably the best description I can think of.
The 63 is just over 2 years old so has MB Warranty remaining, I will extend that come the time either MB or elsewhere.
I will miss the SL, stunningly beautiful and a joy to drive (when not garaged) but I won't miss of course the flaws- well documented on here. Someone however is going to end up with a well sorted car.
Looking forward I am looking to reacquaint myself with a 212, I loved my last one and this has twice the power and toys!
End of one era, and into another, cant wait!

 

[C350Carl]

Good man.

 

[John Laidlaw]

Good man.

Thanks Carl, much fun ahead!

 

[C350Carl]

I call shotgun first.

 

[John Laidlaw]

I call shotgun first.

Deal!

Wow you moved fast!! Well done and not too long to wait either. Car sounds absolutely awesome!!

When I make up my mind Raj, thats what happens- rolling stone and all that.
212's of that age , mileage, condition etc aren't too common so when you see one which looks right you need to move...
