buying

Hi everyone Have spent the last few days trawling through this excellent forum. I'm a newbie and hopefully soon to own my first MB. I've been looking on ebay and autotrader for several weeks now trying to find a W211 estate that has been looked after and will hopefully be reliable for...

Hi everyone, Apologies if this is already covered off on here. I'm looking to purchase a rhd R107 SL (alas the pagoda is out of my reach) and have about £15k to spend. I like the idea of owning an early example but have read that the later cars (86 +) are better. I am used to driving a 73...

Hi, I'm looking at buying an R107 that's based in Hampshire. I'm in Scotland. Can anyone recommend someone who could look the car over for me, specifically bulkheads and rot? Thanks, Ian

Neat video on how to buy a used car courtesy of Autotrader. Some might say slightly OTT but for the novice buyer and based on some of the disaster stories on this forum not a bad check list. https://youtu.be/aGCirhwmmiM

Hi, I want to buy a brand new car but not sure how to finance it. Here the thing: My existing car is worth around £20k and the car I want to but is about £33k. I'm not sure if I should part ex my car for for the new car with some finance on top to complete the purchase, or I sell it...

I have owned an S202 for six months and have come to the conclusion that a 124CE of some description has to be mine. I would like a leather interior but aircon would take priority over that. I do not want AMG, Carat whatever, wide wheels, Sportline or generally chavved up dross, I like it as...

Maybe not. The car is sold meh

After an A Class for 'er indoors, they seem competitively priced with the other marques. I am after an automatic (this is mandatory, no engineer can design for the stick wiggling of SWMBO), comfortable, not too racey. I think an A Class will suit as I have just about trained her on the C Class...

Hi I'm hoping someone here can give me some advice. I replaced 2 rear tyres last month on my W212 sport. Then 2 days ago I got a screw in one of them close to the edge so had to buy another! I also have a slow puncture on the near-side front which is leaking air in 3 places so I don't want...

Hey everyone. I'm looking at potentially getting an E55 AMG. I've got about £10,000 to spend, so I'll probably be looking an 04 plate (hopefully a bit newer). It'll be strictly my weekend toy as I have a van for work and my mrs has a fiesta I can do my town trips in. I've been reading up...

Im thinking about E class w211 estate. Which engine would you recommend? I got BMW 330Ci and love the sound and the power it has. My wife has C180 coupe which if I would know it will be so boring I would get C with bigger engine. The diesel engines are good but never was fan of those...

Hi guys Looking to buy a used C Class or CLS (haven't decided yet!) likely to be from around 2011 - 2013. Just wanted to ask how many miles do you guys consider to be too many when buying used cars? Or does it not really matter as long as its not ridiculously high? Thanks.

It's on UK plates. Seller has/had quite a few interesting cars/nice house. He's English, with family in the North - his wife is from Ireland. I'm not all the familiar with the Eire vehicle regs but don't they have expensive taxation for large CC/Co2 vehicles? He's owned it about a year...

Hi all I'm on the hunt for a CLK 500 convertible. I've found one by me in a independent dealership It's a 2003 avantgarde which is in pretty decent overall condition with 80,000 miles on it. The dealer has assured me it will be fully serviced with all spark plugs replaced and brake fluid changed...

Hi guys Looking to get myself a CLS 250 or 350 AMG Sport 2011 onwards. Are there any optional extras to the car that I should look out for when looking for the right one? Thanks.

Due to assisting 2 sons to buy cars over the last few weeks, and then one for myself, I've managed to max out my most pleasurable hobby quite well recently. However it wasn't always a pleasurable experience of course, and it's fair to say that Mercedes were squarely at the bottom of the pile...

Hi guys wondering if I could get some advice I had agreed in principle to buy a 13 plate c63 coupe from a dealer for £35k on the phone - btw car is white with 32k miles. when i went to see the car i found it had usual "marks" you would expect from a used car although it has only one owner...
