    Newbie wanting some advice.

    Reviews & Blogs Rather than rehash the whole thing here, I wrote a blog on C63 Options when I bought my PPP Estate (on 18inch wheels) in 2013. Cars: We All Fall in Love With Our Models: C63 AMG. More is Less? Options That Make or Ruin Your Car Gave impressions of the car after a month...

    3 Years with a C63 AMG PPP Estate: The Verdict

    Shortly I will have to decide what to do with my C63 AMG Estate car. I have had it three years which is actually quite a long time by my usual standards. Its PCP finance comes up in December. It seems a good time to reflect on owning a 6.2 litre V8 Estate car. (I know it says 6.3 V8 on the...

    Decision time

    I will need to decide what to do by 26th December this year. I can of course repay the so-called guaranteed buy back amount, part exchange using any equity left in the car or just give the car back to the dealer. My buy back is £25.5k. The car is worth somewhere between £29-35k today (and...

    Uneven Tyre Wear down to Canvass

    Yesterday I took my 2012 C63 PPP to have its tyres checked and then its MOT. Kwik Fit told me "Your tyres are good for another 1500 miles", which was a pleasant surprise. The MOT results was "Failed due to tyres being down to the canvass" an unpleasant surprise. I was frankly...

    Scratch on my passenger door :-(

    Mine was scuffed whilst parked at Heathrow Terminal 2 by someone who didn't know how to park properly or leave details when they damaged someone else's car. Very irritating.

    C63 or cla45

    I have had my C63 PPP Estate for just over two years, so in the coming months it'll be time to change. Whilst I had laughed out loud at the lunacy of the C63, I also have other cars that feed the "nutter within", most notably a V12 Vantage Roadster that is like living with Jack Nicholson in...

    What is it worth?

    You have been ripped off. According to a man called Quentin Wilson on a TV programme called "Classic Cars" Mercedes SL300s are actually free, because whilst you have to pay £850k to buy one, he confidently asserted to a Miss Jodie Kidd of London, England that it was guaranteed to be worth...

    Best random spellcheck award goes to...the accent on Finance! I wrote about the old options on my (ad free , wholly non-commercial) blog, don't know how relevant to the new one though. Too much for a forum note, so forgive the self promotion. Cars: We All Fall in Love With Our Models...
