Smitten with the idea of a version of above. Sorry to be vague but there are some nice early noughties cars about however the mid 2000s facelift is nice too. I can stretch to a later car but I'm interested in the massive's views as to pros and cons of the model in general. I'll be...

Cheers. It's been a while since the W124 and hopefully I've bridged the decade of penny pinching poorness that characterised the 90's;)

This time with a 57 CLK 220 CDI Elegance plus a few options. A bloody nice drive to ease me into a long distance contract:D Reading around seems a solid buy with few problems?

He he quite:thumb:

Depends how you look at it for instance at the moment from a BIK viewpoint, diesel attracts a 3% surcharge. However you are of course correct the duty for petrol and diesel is exactly the same. Diesel has traditionally had a higher pump price here and that combined with the extra VAT makes...

Of course it was aimed at you. Who else:doh: BTW the word you were grasping for is 'nuisance':D I still think my meagre typing skills are as nothing compared to your trolling ****nal however there's still a distinct possibility you're an autistic savant of the highest order. Either way I...

I'll take my chances;) Either it's a good pisstake or the chap's an utter balloon IMHO of course.

I'm assuming you don't have to pay for the sticky stuff yourself otherwise you might have noticed it's a tad more expensive than the alternatives:confused: Are you George Osbourne?

Chap bought a car and thinks it's too slow. Appears to have the resources to swap the car after checking it was indeed the car he ordered.:doh: Umpteen pages later nothing material has changed but he still loves the colour. Popular thread:rolleyes:

Penalising diesel drivers, as we do here, is plainly the shining path laid out before the Frenchies should they only grasp the opportunity.;)

Twas there on my W124 but have to admit was surprised to see it on the E Class coupe I test drove the other day. Same cruise control stalky thing too:confused: Not saying they don't work but having used an electronic jobby for a few years seemed like a bit of a throwback:confused:

Returning to the fold with a 250 coupe and hoping it's as good an experience as my last W124. Spent 3 very enjoyable years in an XF and 100k miles or so of great motoring later it's the only model of car for a long time I could happily have replaced with another. However in the end I just...

Hmmm according to the jolly salesman there's a problem with the injectors on the 250 and no orders till they sort it out? Took the 350 for a drive today instead. What an awesome car that's all I can say:rock:

Long time no long time:) After the sad demise of me faithful W124 280 several years ago I must admit to being a bit jaded with Mercs what with the 90's quality probs and all. Net result has been a few competent cars since but nothing that ever touched the old 280 in the fondness stakes...

Luvverly machines. Can't wait till my next one:)
