budget

Hi, new to the site having just bought a C class coupe 1.6 petrol in AMG spec. Previously had a Range Rover Sport TDV8 so it's quite a change brought on by early retirement. Have to say I'm really pleased with the Merc so far despite to significant reduction in horsepower! My car has budget...

Hey, Got some new alloys, great...but they came with some budget tyres called Sailun Atrezzo, lol. Never heard of them and they are utterly useless! Reminds me of Road Champs back on my old Renault 5! Recently sold my standard 19's with 285 Bridgestone Potenza's last month and they...

What do you have ?

Hi. First post. Recently purchased a used clk 220 cdi. Had haida? front and triangle? rear tyres fitted when I bought it. Shocked at how hard it was to stop and stay in a straight line in sudden snow/ice at low speed. If you love your family then make sure your tyres are up to the job. Shame its...

Its my last day off before going back to work and just thumbing through a Mercedes magazine, it asks the staff the Mercedes of choice for just a £1000! The choices are mostly the 124, 201 and 202 of course. I think the supplies of dirt cheap but still usable 124's and 201's are pretty much...

Hi all, new member here, I am looking for a an AMG E55 with an extensive/complete history - budget around 10k. Would prefer an estate but not vital. Upgraded sound system would be nice. Currently have a lotus exige s2 but need something more practical/comfortable to accompany it over...

Hi guys, I'm going to be on the lookout for a machine polishing kit, and I was wondering if this one would any good to get me up and running? Professional Eccentric Car Polisher Polishing Machine 710 Watt + XXL Pad Kit | eBay It will probably only see use a handful of times a year for a...

I've got a set of Nexen tyres on my E320 at the moment, the rears are getting towards the end of their life. I think I'll probably swap all four when the time comes. Nexen get mixed reviews. Any recommendations?

Following the 8k thread I've always wondered about the 5k über mercs on ebay etc. I always thought they were a non starter....a 5k car with 5k of MOT issues waiting to surface. Has anyone successfully bought and run a 500/600/AMG without anything much more than the tyres/ins/fuel for more...

Hi, I'm a Mercedes virgin. Had volvo's & saab in the past but this time a lovely C200 Classic estate presented itself at the right time and right price. I am on a very limited fixed income and have tried buying cheap fords and other common makes, but in my price range they are all thrashed...

I've decided to let my Mum have my old Samsung Galaxy S2. She currently pays £5 a week on Vodafone PAYG. I know she could get a contract phone for that much, but prefers to just top up when she pleases. Her existing phone is 7 years old. She would need to retain her existing number and a little...

My brother is after a car up to £25k, he currently own an Audi A3 which bought from new 5 years ago, he does around 20k+mileage a year. I recommended A220CDI AMG Sport, slightly over his budget, but figures he could stretch to that. He seemed interested in A180 AMG, and also Peugeot 2008...

Three less well reported changes announced in the Budget that will benefit some of us: In order to reduce administration costs, SORN (Statutory Off Road Notifications) will now last indefinitely and not require renewing every year The grace period for not displaying a new tax disc (once...

Great News in the Budget today. The Chancellor has just said that he won't merely delay the 3p petrol tax, later this year. HE WILL SCRAP IT ALTOGETHER. How about a reduction? That would help even more!

Anyone got any first hand experience N6000 Nexen tyres? Seem to be cheap, but are they ok with a Mercedes 211 sitting on them?

Hi all, I'm currently searching for an SL and thought I would ask on here. I don't want to buy one and then have one of you say "oh...I'm selling mine and it's amazing, you should have said" So...I have a budget of up to approx £6000 and I'm looking ideally for a 500, although a 320 if...
