    Winter Tyres C63

    I've dug mine out and they are actually Vredstein not Nokian, the Nokian were for my van. They've got loads of meat on them, probably 7mm at least. Bit of a bummer but I got a puncture in one of them the day after they were fitted, it was easily repaired thankfully. Rears are 265/30/19, fronts...

    Rear ended yesterday but third party refusing to pay

    Its a bummer but at least if you don't get involved with insurance companies you won't have to declare the accident when you next renew. It will slightly increase your premium for the next 3-5 years even though it's not your fault. I'd still get a invoice off the garage and send them it though...

    Mercedes care plan

    Yes that's what I was getting at, service prices are silly for the C63 so I always thought £45 was good value. I would have thought a C220 would be £300 per year max but I'm obviously miles out.

    Mercedes care plan

    £420 per year to service a C220 seems expensive to me. My C63 was only £45 per month.

    New or used? PCP or personal loan?

    Leasing used to be simple, 3+36, now it's 3/6/9 + 18/24/36/48 and now plus an additional £500. It might still be a good deal but I can't say I've ever seen a lease with 2 deposits.

    GLC - to sell or not to sell....

    I class my car as my hobby so it's easier to justify :)

    Winter Tyres C63

    As soon as I can dig them out of my garage, they only done about 1500 miles.

    GLC - to sell or not to sell....

    Stick it on Autotrader and see if you get any traders after it, I've sold loads of cars this way. Or you could try Tootle. How does the dealers offer compare to We Buy Any Car?

    Winter Tyres C63

    I had a set of 19" Nokian on my car last year, I'll be putting them up for sale soon as I no longer have my C63.

    What is it with Merc's n Bradford

    I bought a lovely RS4 from a private seller in Bradford a few years ago, theres no way I'd buy from any of the dealers though. It's certainly not somewhere I'd hurry back to.

    I'm the opposite, my first flight was on a 747 to oz, I've never flown on one since and that 30 years ago.

    GAP Insurance

    I took out GAP for the first time when I bought my C63, the dealer gave me a reasonable deal on it and as he'd been excellent I took it. It was a four year policy which I cancelled after one year when I sold the car, I got back 36 months worth of payments so it wasn't too painful. I pick up my...

    Selling cars privately

    It's the norm. When I advertised my C63 (and other cars) I got loads of 'what's your best price mate' type calls. Most wanted the car for less than trade price even though it was keenly priced. I did get a good trade offer so sold it to him for more than the 'private' buyers were willing to pay...

    C63 B service quotes / Service plan

    Just remember that if you sell the car and have overpaid you will get money back, the reverse is that if you sell your car only a few months after getting a service you may owe them money.

    C63 Owners - What will you have next?

    I ordered a M3 competition pack when I sold my C63, I get it in few weeks time. Definitely doesn't sound as good as the AMG but I wanted a change.

    PCP Falling Short

    The only way you might get any money out of the car is if you sell it privately, you'd have to do some homework on values though. If you keep cars for the full PCP term then yes your probably better to lease next time, I never keep mine long enough to find out if the GFV is accurate. If you'd...

    2016 Olympic Games.

    Yikes, I thought that Dutch cyclist had broke her neck when she hit that kerb, I was watching the race live when it happened and felt sick after seeing it, I really thought she more seriously injured, or worse when she didn't move. Looks like she's not too bad all things considered.

    Best wheel courier

    I've used Paisley 4 or 5 times, they messed up one collection slot but otherwise they've been great. Easy to book online too.
