Hi All Just buying a used E350 (265) from my local main dealer and as it was not advertised, I have no idea what it is fitted with until I pick the car up. It wasn't advertised as I had phoned several dealers and asked them to keep me informed of anything that may be within my price range and...

Hi all.. Im not new to the club but been away since my last clk320cdi sport in 2014.. i went on to a Lexus ISF and loved every second of it. Built solid with no common/major problems and power delivery was shockingly un characteristic for a Lexus. After selling the ISF, im in a Bmw 320d...

Well, I need to whine and here's as good a place as any. Looking at replacing the Fiat and my requirements are specific, very few cars meet all the criteria. Recently I've been looking at the Chrysler Ypsilon - and if you say "whassat?", I don't blame you. Fiat/Chrysler decided to bring the...

I have now sold my Porsche and intend to look at a 2007 Mercedes CL 500 with 70k miles and full MB service history. I would like to know what key areas to check and do these cars have any weak points? I think my main concerns are the suspension and the 7 speed auto box. If there is any owners...

Morning all, I've been out of the fold for a few months since the lease on my C220 ran out and it went back, but I have visited occasionally! But I'm about to retire, and as we have one sensible car in the family, I hope to have a 'toy' as a second car. I have seen a lovely SLK200, 05 reg...

I cant help but notice the price of certain cars have plummeted, probably due to tax/insurance and fuel costs... and i have been seriously tempted into taking a punt on either a Audi RS6, Porsche Cayanne Turbo,Porsche Boxster or a Mercedes E55, all cars around 2004 ish and most around or above...
