Hi all,

Newbie to this forums. Where shall I start? I am a car enthusiast, I used to sell cars as a hobby whilst studying law at university. Love to get my hands dirty in DYI. Thinking of opening an honest garage one day where customers won't be afraid that they may get ripped off and won't have rocket high prices.

My previous car was a MK5 Golf which I took up to 137k miles before selling - fabulous little hatchback that was. Recently stumbled upon an absolute bargain at one of the auctions in the UK. Ended up buying a 2006 Mercedes B180 CDi SE with a lot of added extras including the full sports package, sports suspensions, 17'' alloys, etc. I didn't really like the old B class, however for some reason this car looks different to other B Class models and so it was perfect for me (I'm under 30s). Not too big and not too small, oh and definitely not a Picasso! Suits a young family man right. The car sits really nicely and has a responsive steering wheel. I've read all the reviews before buying and TBH those reviews are a pile of BS. I love the car, especially since I paid £2.5k less than its market value with only 65k on the clock! Beautiful car. Really love it!

Welcome. Agree with you about the reviews. Like the W169 A Class, the B is a much under-rated car.
