Unfortunately to most people it just looks like a kit car. I would take an SLS over this every day.

I am not that surprised; I suspect so many people gave up on these W220's, that the number left has quite possibly decreased significantly - or they are hidden away, either quietly rotting or in a collection. I bought a parts car about 5 years ago, it has already paid for itself several times...

No offence, but whilst people may ask about them, neither of those are worth very much, probably £2k each tops. Also, are M4d and L4d typo's, as neither M4D or L4D have ever been issued in the UK. This is a beautiful example of a true cherished number - an October 1913 issue; thank you for...

The reason now is due to the massive amount of money the DVLA make from the online sales and auctions, combined with the fact that unlike other countries where vanity plates are very often linked to vehicle taxation, so can 'die' after a period of time; the DVLA cannot re-isssue a number plate...

Slightly off topic, I note even Rover 75's are now purporting to be "modern classics" ; refer: Rover 75 - 2,745 miles - Est £18-22,000 ......... :oops:

Yes, I agree, it's a good listen - and I too have a take on Germans and Japanese car makers vs the former UK car industry. Most simply though, primarily the banks and then Gov't play a big part. If any UK business wants business funds from a UK bank, the bank expects black ink very quickly...

I never use the handbrake on any car which is not in regular use, all to often they get stuck; however that will not help your Father in his current predicament, so, maybe try: 1] If it's electrical, possibly some of the car modules 'gone to sleep' and some modules needs a little waking up; on...

In the time it takes to make a post on here, then wait for replies, of varying quality/interest; you could find the information more quickly, and probably accurately, by using a quick search engine for such info ......

==================== I suspect you will find prices will fall across all market segments; used car values, including (somewhat suspect) high/low comments on Autotrader, are all largely derived from their CAP Valuation: https://www.cap-hpi.com/about. BCA, Manheim, Aston Scott, Copart - they all...

There is a chronic shortage of general good, used car stock now . We are seeing a reverse repeat of what happened to used car prices in winter 2009 when used car prices hit rock bottom; once all those used cars were sold off very cheaply, with no new sales after 'the crash', shortage/s meant...

I suspect quite a large number of we long/er term Mercedes owners have found it cost effective to buy a suitable scanner; I have the icarsoft MB V2.0 personally - and if someone was prepared to drive to my home or car storage facility, I'd happily run it for codes. I am no help to you here as I...

Thanks for the additional replies and input guys; I've taken it all on board. Ironically, probably more so given my ability to inflict myself with gas guzzling cars with suspect repair and running costs; I've only thus far found an S65 Cabrio, delicious colours, inside and out - almost...

Underwriters could substantially reduce costs by using a more time effective system/s. Just one example being the (10 years ago!) the then £60/per car, per day, they used to pay storage facility for keeping the car outside, sometimes for months, whilst awaiting sale. My own insurers also...

Yes, nickgear I fully agree with all you say, most particularly the part quoted above, also great to hear the good reliability; your summary is my rationale for another car acquisition; this purchase will also force to get my act together and sell some cars which as a family were never traded in...

Thank you very much Piff for taking the time to give such a detailed and helpful summary of all your experiences to date. On the basis of your personal experience, I will attempt to try and progress this further, I know many do not, but I rather like the white/cream interiors on some...

Probably much the same as central heating oil the number of indys now gone, although the price reacts daily. I thought I had done well to get some at 22.5p / litre on Monday, today it's down to 18.95p / litre :wallbash:; when you're buying in multiples of several thousand, those pennies make a...

He and his former partners broke up/demerged the former, much bigger business, which employed hundreds. He decided, against my advice, for what little that's worth!!, not to use LTD or LLC options, as he felt he could write off more against expenses I suspect, when the inevitable time came and...

Unfortunately I think your option 2 is more likely; the only potential problem being, politicians rarely seem to learn from prior mistakes, a prime example being the new, now 10 year tide of credit many people regard as being normal - that didn't end very well in 2008 for many and won't again, now.

From one of today's Time's lead articles: Adam Marshall, director-general of the BCC, said: “This is a crunch week for businesses relying on the job retention scheme to pay their staff. It is now critical that payments from the furlough scheme reach businesses as smoothly and as quickly as...

Any feedback from sales/dealers or service/repair operators would also be welcomed. Thank you.
