Try costco. 25% off four. I would never skimp on tyres.

Hmm not so sure. Alcantara is very hard wearing. In my experience, whats happens is the alcantara can react to the sweat/salt in your hand, causing the tiny pile to stick together. This results in a smooth sheen. To my dismay I had this problem on my steering wheel after only 6000 miles so I...

The LSD oil change at 2k miles was offered free of charge, a letter from MB UK confirmed this.

And now i have seen the full alcantara steering wheel too.....

Hi Have just spotted the beautiful gearknob in alcantara. Anybody else spotted? Desperately want one of those but Dealer hopeless unless i can give them a part number (surely they should be telling me) and MB UK just referred me to a dealer!!! Argh. Please, please does anyone know the part...

Congrats on purchase. The last of a great NA engine. Pics paleeeeeaseeee. Cant wait to see the colour. I am 6 weeks and 1400 miles in with my C63 and it is simply awesome. My insurance with merc was only £350, approx 50% cheaper than my previous insurer. Figure that one put.

Heres mine! Photo taken 615 in the morning ready for a trip into the office

Another one here too !

Thanks to all who have posted. Of course, gender isnt the issue when it comes to driving a rear wheel drive car with 600 NM of torque. Male friends with a binary nature to throttle application will not be going nowhere near it - even on a bend you mend basis! A lively debate so far so thanks.

Wow congrats on the new arrival. Hmm that is a real dilema. I think on balance i would find it harder to go away for a week after only 2 days playing and knowing its on my drive. So id probably, probably wait....

So in the o/p case, what is your advice?

Yes but of course it takes effort and time to achieve this. The point made by nick froome of putting your own capital into an appreciating asset everyone understands I was extending this point saying working your own capital harder than the rate you can borrow someone elses money at...

Oh dear. Anyone with capital earning only 1% needs to seek financial advice! Similarly anyone paying 6% interest should try harder too.

Doh just seen mortgage not an option! So I'd recommend oracle finance. They are great. Rates of 4-5% dial in inflation at 3.3% and real terms cost of money of less than 2%. Cheers

Oh balls - how do I set up a vote :-(

This is a big debate in my family. My bro in laws say no way as it's asking for trouble?!? Yet my brother happily let's his mrs drive his SLK 55. Whats the views?

Hi Agree with this so it all comes down to your spending priorities an what "value" you place on a new car. Hence i always finance a car with someone elses money and sink the minimum capital into a depreciating asset. Mileage of 25k per year will make all most deals on new cars unattractive...

Hi I like your style!! Life needs a V8! Good luck with the viewing. Jeremy

Hi John My view would be to buy private and have the prospective purchase inspected by either the RAC or AA. Often they will offer a warranty on the back of the inspection and HPI the car. I have done this is the past on similar value cars. Almost best of both worlds in that cheaper to buy...

What a great looking car!!! Thanks for the write up. So as to not be too disappointed with the mpg I have decided and budgeted for 15 mpg as my average!! Like you my shell garage will get to know me rather well!! What was your lead time quoted by the dealer at the time you ordered? What when...
