I wondered if anyone had a set of wheels gathering dust in the garage that they're looking to offload, before I start scouring eBay?

I'm in the market for a S205, looking to buy before the end of Dec to replace current lease car. Wondered if any owners on here were planning to sell in the next couple of months? Needs to be automatic, and have the Premium pack for the memory seats, other than that fairly open to most spec...

Sounds nice, all the best with the new purchase! Haven't listed mine yet, need to take some pics and write up the ad. But here's a sneak peek :) Replacement will be something with more seats, prob a 5 series or E-Class (had one of the new ones as a hire car, if only my budget could stretch...)

LOL - yes, that was a day for human stop-start technology :)

That does seem pretty low, although as zip dip says it's likely down to the amount of stop-start traffic; I recall being stuck on the M25 a couple of months ago that was crawling for 20 miles or so and the MPG plummeted!

Many thanks Bob, you are a gentleman!

@wu56Shoozz - yep, see an increasing amount of them eejits; understand why dash cams are increasingly popular these days. For your quiz, can we cheat like in America and turn on red??

I had to LOL at this, and here is a spam message to help me get to 30 :)

Welcome Simon! I used to work for a courier which had one sprinter in a fleet of transits; always a bun fight for the keys, lovely to drive - enjoy

I didn't know about any of these; will go and have a read. Our previous Fiesta had a 'special' flap to prevent diesel going into the petrol tank iirc.

Never use the speed limiter, feels a bit weird when driving to me. But I am a huge cruise control addict and use it loads!

I find myself always drawn to cars with leather when I am looking to buy, and talk myself into this be a 'must have'. But to be honest, once purchased I'm not too fussed about it and their much hotter/colder than material so that can be a pain too.

I wash my own car, trying to convince the kids that this is a 'fun' activity for them to do :)

Congrats @thebiglad - enjoy the drive home! On sunny days with the sunroof open and all windows down, it's not far off a convertible experience; and save the baldy spot getting too burnt :)

@the88g If you're still on the hunt for a CLK, sadly I'm about to put mine up for sale to move to something more practical (more seats). Still a compromise on your original request, Elegance rather than AMG but has 42k miles, sunroof, comand, mem seats etc. Good luck with the search, the 320...
