Hi all,
Very glad to be here.
I have not long bought my second Mercedes in my driving lifetime (though it's the Wife's first).
Many moons ago I had an old W123 200E estate, but this was before the time of the t'internet and things and I ended up selling it and buying something better suited to my family (as was then).
Now, into my 50th year and I have taken the plunge to re-enter Mercedes ownership with a 2007 S320CDI. Only problem appears to be that the wife seems to have commandeered it as hers.... Any ideas how to cure this rather inconvenient problem?

Welcome Karl. There is no cure for your condition. You have acquired something attractive. You are married. In the marriage ceremony you agreed, 'With all my worldly goods I thee endow.' If you're lucky she'll let you drive her occasionally.

Hello and welcome

The only cure is to get another for yourself...

Hi Mcdonald and Blobcat
Thanks for your replies
The only issue I may have with the 2nd Mercedes idea is that we currently have all our neighbours hating us as we are currently a 4 car family with another daughter due to start driving in January too.... Oh the Joys!!

Neighbours and piles, two things you can live without

Hi Karl and welcome to the forum. Can’t help with your specific problem because my wife thinks her Mini is a bit too big so her driving an S Class would never be a problem!

Welcome, I have a E350CDI. The only car I would consider changing too would be a S350CDI.

If you have a wife and a daughter, you have a recurring problem. The next Mercedes you acquire won't be your own either. You'll just have to keep buying them until everyone's got one. No need to exceed the present four cars, it's just a brand issue.
