Customer gave me hia A class today

They make great poultry sheds. Chickens particularly like the leather seats and the bodywork is guaranteed against rust perforation for 30 years.

Trust you!!! I am toying with the idea of hotting it up, the bodywork is really good so it will polish up nice, I though some big alloys, drop it 45mm, big exhaust give it some bling.. Or should I just hit a tree with it?

Do it a favour, hit the tree!!!

Beginning to sound too defensive - and like a cracked gramophone record - but can't help myself repeating that 169 is altogether different from 168!

 

[A180 Dream]

People are still payng good money for them, what does that tell you!!

It tells me that the W169 updated version is a 100% improvement on the early W168 variant.

The A Class is now accepted to be a well engineered vehicle and the old bogie of the early faults can be laid to rest...........Unfortunately, some on here will not allow that to happen

Why not have a ceromonial dunking in the river at the Bridge pub , that would be much better . I would definatley come again to watch that ,you could even sell tickets to the BMW forum !

God I hate those cars MB lent me one once when my car was in for servicing ,I drove it round the block and brought it back and borrowed a Vito van instead much better.

Are you suggesting all pre 2005 A class W168 cars should be brought into the Government scrappage scheme ?

The anti-A brigade do like to have their fun.

No.........Not at all............They are worth far more than that

There may be some 10 year old Mercedes saloons on here that would qualify though :lol:

 

[PeterCLK]

I drove an A class and posted on here that I thought it was pretty poor.
Got accused of being a snob and offending some people, so you lot had better watch out.

Agree with you though.

As above it has F on the dash so the customer not wanting to spend anymore on the car gave it to me along with the V5. V reg A190 with full leather.

nice.

As someone who used to have one, I can understand why the owner got fed up spending out money on it and simply gave it too you. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

All the parts worked individually, yet somehow when combined to form an A-class - they all developed faults!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The preface lift W168 are cr@p no to ways about it.. Loads of parts are no listed on ebay.

Fit a new face lift front end and it may go better

I think that's beacause there are no spare parts left - they've all broken :lol:

I learned to drive in an A-Class, it was ok I suppose, although at the time I was driving around in a metro when I wasn't with my instructor.

It did cause me knee and ankle pain on extended (1hr+) drives though

A cheaper way is to close your eyes and imagine you have a new A-Class and see if it's more reliable like that.

That works till you turn the key and drive.
