I don't understand this logic? With old school, unstressed diesels yes I agree, but modern diesels - the opposite is true - I'd far rather buy a 150,000m petrol than a 150,000m diesel nowadays. With all the tech in a modern diesel (and to be fair, petrols are catching up in complexity) -...

True, but you could also buy a brand new Nissan Note for £8000 ?? It's still got 4 wheels - but like your example above, is also a totally different car with less power, style, different noise and so forth! No point in comparing the two - you may as well compare a E63AMG with a banana...

Don't As you say - they stole it without further damage, glue it in and they will still steal it - but wreck the grille in the process.....

Pillarless - I don't get why people make such a fuss about this? What's the benefit? But E coupe better looking than C Coupe?? Not in my eyes. The W209CLK was a lovely looking car, the C Coupe currently is a very pretty car, the E Coupe just doesn't look right at all the headlights not nice...

Re-insurance it's easy - just do exchange during week, then cancel insurance when you get home and he's happy to proceed with the deal. He can then commence his insurance on it there and then by calling his company. Re- payment. 1) There are more forged 20's than 50's about - so you're...

You could call the seller - just buy a mobile sim from anywhere and put £10 credit on it cash - untraceable.

I believe the dealer is smoking whatever the doors are packed full of.....!!! Surely he's not serious

The one with the best bodywork and that looks sound when up on a ramp...

Because although the diesels have higher "manufacturers claimed" economy based on the totally pointless "European tests", the reality is there is very little actual difference in consumption on real roads in real driving. And yes, the peak torque figure is better, but it's produced over a...

Does it need to be diesel? How many miles a year do you do? If more than 15k then yes - diesel of course However if under that, many people are swinging back to petrol as they are ridiculously good on fuel now.

C'mon.... New Aston DB9 £120,000 - current best leasing deal £2000 per MONTH..... Do you really think £40 a month will persuade that buyer he should get a Focus instead?? There will be NO impact at all on the cars you mention. The impact will be on cars from £35000 to £45,000...

What will happen is there will be a lot of special editions at £39995...... In reality, a £43,000 Mercedes can be bought (as a rule) for £40k.... 2017 on, that same car will be £39,995 with no discount.....

Try a C320 - Saloon, Estate or (curve Ball) CLK Coupe?? Lovely noise, plenty fast enough for me (I'm 45 and have owned Ferrari, Celica GT4 (rally spec car) and plenty of fast cars). Goes like stink, but does 20-30mpg (I used to get 27). I genuinely think it's a great balance of sense and...

I would also suggest going for the biggest engine you can afford to run.... An E class with a 200cdi engine is going to feel underpowered on it's own never mind towing 1400kg Try and get a 320/350 cdi - it will tow that kind of weight without noticing it's there to be honest - rated to...

If you bid max £500 - how have you bought it for £680?? There's one issue right there.

I never bother with the handbrake in an auto unless on a steep hill. However, it will fail MOT if it doesn't work so you do need to check it. What handle are you pulling - I thought they were all foot operated?

I was followed the other day by some muppet who obviously thought that leaving more than 3ft behind me was some form of sign of weakness. I pulled over to let him past, he pulled in behind me, I knocked 5mph off so he'd pull out and pass, he slowed as well, I added 5mph, he sped up - all 3ft...

There is no such thing as a "decent" bonnet bra - they are an aberation!:fail 1) Don't follow so close 2) If your bonnet gets stone chipped, touch it in. My 10 year old 90k CLK had 2 stone chips - why ruin a good looking car with such a dreadful addition?

£65 is cheap enough - most main dealers are £175 per hour!!

My CLK270 (same engine / box) has also been very troublesome. The 320 petrol I owned before was faultless.... So the savings in fuel with the diesel have all been wiped out (and more) by the repair bills!!! If you do low miles (15000 or less per yr) get a 320 petrol If you do medium miles get...
