    I am not interested at £22k at £15 + £4 work needed that was pushing it to be honest

    Buying An Old Merc - The Story So Far

    E500 no, not special enough which possibly is my issue as I have a penchant for 2005 / 09 Mercs

    Buying An Old Merc - The Story So Far

    Doubt it he saw the nice one just sold at £22k I think I don't go 250 miles to buy 100k miles cars with wallet melting potential without some assurance plus I knew it needed rust, brakes and a spring at least.

    Buying An Old Merc - The Story So Far

    It needs discs and pads as well - £1500 ? I had already agreed to pay for them no haggling making it £16,500 I guess - ah well not to be. Guys look out for a late CLK cabrio please with the 5.5 engine its probably the sweet spot of the V8 CLK`s

    New Cheap Commuter / Shopper Hybrid

    It looks like an old Prius with an Audi grill but the interior is very impressive (after a Zoe and a Leaf)

    New Cheap Commuter / Shopper Hybrid

    After having a Leaf for £3600 for 2 years I was loath to pay £6k+ for another one and not many suitable cars were under £5k however the petrol / electric Ionic is on offer at £4700 for 2 years 16k miles and its like a Korean Prius with a great interior and fab spec (radar cruise and dab plus tft...

    New Mustang

    I bought one in 2015 delivered April 2016 sold Sept 16 lost £550 ish. Not rorty enough, not interesting enough and not V8 enough in stock form.
