Employer isn't laughing - it makes no odds to them. I'm not sure even they realised that the tax on the fuel was way more than the fuel itself! It's very common in the motor trade this scheme. However later in the year they are moving to a contributory lease scheme which I think will make a lot more sense and I may well go into that. As you "lease" your car off the company, and pay for that out of salary, no company car tax is payable - nor maintenance.
I've seen W216's for about 7k. W215's are about £3-£6k
I certainly can't afford £10k - but I do know cheap CL's is an oxymoron - what you save in purchase you'll certainly pay in repairs!
The other car I fancy that I can get for about £6k ish is a ML320CDi - they seem nice but not as luxurious as a CL.
