Not quite yet, but it’s certainly been a consideration. I feel the car is as good as I can get it and it was always the plan to keep it a couple or three years at most, hopefully getting back what I paid. Values are still buoyant, I bought the car keenly and I am hoping to get similar money, bearing in mind what has been spent so far. I may change my mind, but right now I’m at the point of thinking that the car would be better off somewhere it’s either used, or shielded away. Parking on a street is leaving it covered in grit and detritus from passing buses etc. I don’t care if the Skoda gets covered in muck because that’s an appliance, but the Merc is a little more special, but these days, the enjoyment from driving it is balanced by the feeling that it should be out more often. There’s time to reasses the situation yet though, and as I say, if nobody offers what I consider to be reasonable it’ll be going nowhere.
That’d make some sense as a replacement, but not an A4; no reason other than I’ve already had one. And very nice they are, still very modern looking, as is the CLK, and should someone have some cash and such a car (or CLK/3 series/C70 (also had one of them)/9-3 (would really like one of them!)) they wanted to chuck into the deal, I should be quite happy to consider taking it off their hands
You'll be very disappointed in them... Especially in convertible form.

I wouldn’t mind a not so special car being sat outside, and I do like a convertible car. You’d never have me down as a poser obviously

I don’t know why I want a 9-3, I just do. When I bought the Audi, it was a toss up between that and a 9-3 Aero. The Audi was just that bit of a cleaner example and £300 less so I had that instead. An E46 330i could be a contender but in reality it’d be better to do a straight sale as one of the reasons I am considering selling is to pay off some of the Skoda as we gear up for a considerably bigger Mortgage soon!! I wanted to invest a few ££ in the Merc in the hope of losing little to nothing in terms of value and it would be sold when we looked at a bigger house. That’s all moved forward, so the sale of the CLK may have to as well. Got plenty to write up in the next few months before it goes for sale though
