Hi Guys, A friend wants to buy an A45 AMG in the uk (lower prices) But it needs to be a LHD. Does anyone know this is possible? And which dealer can do this? with BMW it's a simple option you can select.

A couple of issues have come up recently, which, while not terribly costly (in the scheme of things!), don't seem very ethical for a trade sale. I agreed a price eventually which was presented as is with a couple of known minor faults. The email with the invoice contained the language "All...

Hi, I'm going to view a 2000MY SL500 with a view to buying it The car has been in storage for a few years and needs cosmetic work On paper it's my dream 129 due to its colour and high spec However, on the photos I've been sent its got ADS suspension which I'd rather it didn't have On...

Hi there - I'm a W202 noob, though I know a few people who have had them, so have been advised what to look for. I've been having a look at a reasonably tidy W202 C200 (so w111 engine?) manual locally. Had a test drive and it goes, stops and steers. No strange noises present.It was actually...

Hi Guys, As the title says I am looking and have been looking for a C43! Been out to see a few but nine had been satisfactory, down to the price or the condition of the actual car down to the seller lying through their teeth or being plain ignorant to the obvious! I would like firstly...

Hi, I'm looking at a 2001, A140 with 89k miles. Manual transmission. Two owner. Current owner is moving to Rome to take a teaching position. In fact he's been abroad so much lately that he only put about 1,000 miles on the car in the last year. So it is in good shape and while he's...

HI all, After looking at a few cars I've found one almost on my doorstep; a white C63 coupe with the PPP and the LSD. The car's advertised with 45k miles, but a check on the DVLA site shows 15 k in March at its first MOT. The dealer's explained that being down to a "new chip" replacement...

We’re looking to buy a replacement estate for our current Octavia. Trouble is we do quite a high mileage (we have a holiday place about half way down France). I’ve never been into buying new or even nearly new, and have usually bought cars with about 60k miles, finally changing with about...

Hi All, Had a look at a 2013 b-class yesterday, its immaculate and comes with a lot of extras but i`m pondering over the fact thats its done 40,000 miles. The price reflects this but i`m just concerned i`m going to have to pay out with servicing eventually on wear and tear. We only do about...

Hi All, Looking to buy a 61 plate e350 convertible. I have seen a handful of issues regarding rattles from the rear and dash but I assume this is luck of the draw as it could happen in any car. I just want to make sure its not a known issue with the e class coupe/covertibles. Also further...

Hi everyone – my very first post. I’m upgrading from my E430 to an E500 which I’ve test driven and it’s gorgeous. It’s a 2004 103,000 miles. I’ve heard about reliability issues, especially relating to the suspension. On this one, a couple of things are mentioned on the last MOT. Advisories...

Hello, After years of aspiring to own a Mercedes E Coupe, I'm finally looking to make the plunge and have found a 2012 model that includes the driver assistance package: Distronic Plus, Blind Spot Assist, Lane Tracking. Now here's the Q: Does the Distronic Plus on 2012 models automatically...
