Smitten with the idea of a version of above. Sorry to be vague but there are some nice early noughties cars about however the mid 2000s facelift is nice too. I can stretch to a later car but I'm interested in the massive's views as to pros and cons of the model in general. I'll be...

Cheers. It's been a while since the W124 and hopefully I've bridged the decade of penny pinching poorness that characterised the 90's;)

This time with a 57 CLK 220 CDI Elegance plus a few options. A bloody nice drive to ease me into a long distance contract:D Reading around seems a solid buy with few problems?

He he quite:thumb:

Depends how you look at it for instance at the moment from a BIK viewpoint, diesel attracts a 3% surcharge. However you are of course correct the duty for petrol and diesel is exactly the same. Diesel has traditionally had a higher pump price here and that combined with the extra VAT makes...

Of course it was aimed at you. Who else:doh: BTW the word you were grasping for is 'nuisance':D I still think my meagre typing skills are as nothing compared to your trolling ****nal however there's still a distinct possibility you're an autistic savant of the highest order. Either way I...

I'll take my chances;) Either it's a good pisstake or the chap's an utter balloon IMHO of course.

I'm assuming you don't have to pay for the sticky stuff yourself otherwise you might have noticed it's a tad more expensive than the alternatives:confused: Are you George Osbourne?

Chap bought a car and thinks it's too slow. Appears to have the resources to swap the car after checking it was indeed the car he ordered.:doh: Umpteen pages later nothing material has changed but he still loves the colour. Popular thread:rolleyes:

Penalising diesel drivers, as we do here, is plainly the shining path laid out before the Frenchies should they only grasp the opportunity.;)

Twas there on my W124 but have to admit was surprised to see it on the E Class coupe I test drove the other day. Same cruise control stalky thing too:confused: Not saying they don't work but having used an electronic jobby for a few years seemed like a bit of a throwback:confused:

Returning to the fold with a 250 coupe and hoping it's as good an experience as my last W124. Spent 3 very enjoyable years in an XF and 100k miles or so of great motoring later it's the only model of car for a long time I could happily have replaced with another. However in the end I just...

Hmmm according to the jolly salesman there's a problem with the injectors on the 250 and no orders till they sort it out? Took the 350 for a drive today instead. What an awesome car that's all I can say:rock:

Long time no long time:) After the sad demise of me faithful W124 280 several years ago I must admit to being a bit jaded with Mercs what with the 90's quality probs and all. Net result has been a few competent cars since but nothing that ever touched the old 280 in the fondness stakes...

Luvverly machines. Can't wait till my next one:)

Usually come through unscathed apart from the time I drew attention to myself by going over a speedhump a bit sharpish, bouncing up and hitting my noddle on the roof of me 280. Must have been all the waving, gesticulating and head rubbing that did it. W124's are excellent for storing a...

Oh dear oh dear oh dear:confused:

What he said. They look awful. Bespoke or not.

Good luck Ian I should be able to put some work your way shortly when you're up and running! By the way I can also quote ya for some good commercial combined insurance cover if you're interested.

Yeah thxs m8. The site was a great help sorting out a cooling problem I had in about 5 minutes flat (shortly before the old giirl was wiped out). What's the picture with coupes nowadays? I'lll be after a good 'un (320). Not to worried bout miles within reason but preferably with a good...
