    New Top Gear

    Evans just tried to copy Clarkson and came across as a bit of a tit, LE Blanc was surprisingly good and watchable, they should make him the lead with Sabine as his sidekick and ditch Evans. There's a dirth of petrohead shows on TV and to me it was better than Brotains got no Talent, so mediocre...

    3.5 hours washing your car!! Bet it rained straight after and covered in mud......I've not washed any of my cars for years, one of the benefits of eu membership is the £5 hand wash

    Summer nights....

    Great colour combo too......we've had our E350 Cdi cab for 6 months now and love it. The air cap means there's no excuse not to have the roof down

    Exhaust Sound Advice - I'm a novice

    The guy did post he's a novice so I'm sure was looking for practical advice not sarcy comments �� You can get a sports exhaust that will make it sound better, but not like a C63..... but do check out sports exhausts first as many can be boomy and reasonant at certain revs. I'm sure the good...

    Slk250cdi

    I would suggest to anyone looking to buy an SLK to try a Boxster before making their final decision. If your looking for a sports roadster the Boxster is an order of magnitude better in every respect, but if your looking for a cruiser then the SLK is a good choice. Horses for courses......but do...

    Buying HELP (E Coupe)

    Hi Northern, I also had a 2005 SAAB Aero conv and no comparison, the E Class interior is a quality experience, a step up from C class for sure and a world away from SAAB. Ours is a sport so has the Amg trim/seats and Napa leather, well worth finding but tbh most we saw for sale were sport/Amg...

    Buying HELP (E Coupe)

    That's an easy question to answer Northern, buy a 220/250 and you'll always wish you'd bought the 350 a year older.......it's a great contrast to our Porsche and, tbh in the real world, almost as quick

    Buying HELP (E Coupe)

    Go for the 6 cyl deisel, the difference in refinement over the 4 cyl models is a quantum leap. We just bought an E350 BEFF conv after I went on to the missus about never buying a deisel conv.........I was amazed, its a great engine, smooth, refined, quiet and enough tourque to stop the globe...

    Member experiences of online gap insurance providers

    I'd suggest get a quote and then go back to the dealer with the quote.......we did and the MB dealer price for gap insurance oddly dropped from £500 to £290

    MB to target younger drivers with Financial Services

    The bottom line is MB aren't a charity, they are a global corporate business and have to answer to their shareholders, who demand growth and value for their investments. R+D cost on a new model/technology is huge, has to be paid for and a few diehards in smoking jackets wanting exclusivity would...

    V12 LAF Reg No. Get your bids in.

    I'm sure Ferrari have prior interest in this plate from the philanthropist owners in UK of La Ferraris. Great to see this as a charity event and I'm sure it will raise a significant amount. Bravo!

    Seasonal second hand values

    It would depend how much they are into the car for ie what they bought it for. Its not rocket science, they buy/trade in for x and need to make a profit, there's no broad brush % on what room they have on a used car. Find a car, if you like it and agree a price your happy with then that's all...

    Whats it worth if I do decide to sell?

    Winter not the best time to sell a cabriolet if you want to maximise return. Also very much agree with comment above, it's irrelevant what you've spent, a car is only worth what a buyer thinks it's worth to them.

    Seasonal second hand values

    The 0% finance at 40% deposit should be available from all main dealers on E class cabriolets, SL and SLK until Dec. We just took advantage of it, great deal and free money for 4 years :)
