goodbye

Hello All, Well, it is nearly 4 years since I joined the AMG fold. The car (SL63) has been fantastic and I honestly expected I would stay with the brand for some time. Unfortunately I did not find the dealer experience any where near good enough, and they made little if any effort to keep me in...

Two years ago I brought a 2003 W211 Estate 3.2 Diesel. Firstly, what an engine the Straight 6 is, smooth, powerful and reliable. I have enjoyed the performance within the restrictions of the UK motoring laws - acceleration and pick up has been wonderful, as was the fuel consumption for such a...

Due to the wife having a hip replaced and finding her CLK too low we have traded it and bought a 2010 350ML with 40,000 on the clock with full main dealer service history for her Christmas present. She is in love with it and MY love life has improved. we needed something practical and...

Well after ten years the time has come for me to say goodbye. I've sold the CLK and I'm so pleased it has gone to a fellow forum member who I know will cherish it and look after it just as much as I did. I hope they and their family have as much fun in it as our family have done over the years...

Well with a new job on the horizon the C55 has today been sold. Tied in with the fact I'm going to be doing more mileage, the muffler delete I had done on the C55 ruined my experience of the car. It was just too loud and I preferred the muted tone of the original C55 setup. Anyways here is...

I have used a Mercedes owned dealership for the last 10 or so years as, rightly or wrongly, I've believed that I get a better service than using a franchised dealer. However, whilst I was hovering around waiting for my car to be serviced in my local one yesterday, I was told yesterday that they...

Well it's time to say goodbye to my Saab 9-3 after a fairly short ownership. The car is actually very very good, looks great, drives well and is ridiculously economical.... I can't justify the change massively other than that I fancied a Merc as a daily and found the Saab so useful I was...

I'm afraid my one year attention span/interest has kicked in so I say farewell to my SL63 tomorrow. Over the past few weeks I have tried an Arial Atom, a KTM X-Bow and a Lotus 2-11 all very good at re-arranging your internal organs but the open no windscreen design has put me off all of them...

I have done the unthinkable, sold my CLK 350 Convertible and purchased a 2008 Porsche Cayman. I would like to thank you all for the help and advice I have had and have enjoyed being part of the forum. Reggie

As per my other thread had to chop in the A45 due to change in work circumstances meaning a lot more motorway miles. Loved the car but the M40 in the dark and rain is not its habitat! Neither was economy. Best I got on the long commute was 35. C class did 51 the other day including being stuck...

Hello M6. Had a nice year in the CL55 but got the yearning for something a little lighter and more driver focused. So a V10 M6 it is. Anyone after a low mileage black on black facelift CL55??? Cheers all for the help, it's a great forum.

Been and gone and done it. I've just sold my SLK this morning. I've had it for four years and been on some great GTG's. I'm missing it already I am no longer an MB owner, but will be keeping my eye on the forum now and again. Citroen going in about four weeks time to be replaced with a Volvo...

Due to one reason and another my E55 didn't leave me until tonight. Sad, very sad, to see it go but I aim to be back in an AMG in the new year, in a facelift E63 estate or a CLS 63 SB. The friend who bought it only lives a mile away though so I'm sure I'll be seeing plenty of it, only now I'll...

So it is with some sadness that I report the demise of my E55 AMG and provides some substance to the analogy "as one door closes, another opens". I have to say though that I am mightily impressed with the safety and strength in the E55, I hit a 4x4 at 60mph on the M6 and despite fairly extensive...

Have now sold my car so I just wanted to say Thank You to everyone who helped me on the forum with various fixes and saved me a fortune - without the knowledge of you guys with the various niggles and common issues I would have been stumped many a time . I hope I've also contributed to the forum...

Hi Guys, Due to how busy we are, we have unfortunately missed the deadline for the sponsorship. I'll still be here for advice but will no longer be forum sponsor for the detailing section. Thank you so much for your support over the years. As well as entrusting us with your beautiful pride...

After ten years running an E-Class 320 CDI, it is finally time for a change; the new car is an Audi and it arrives tomorrow. Over the last couple of months I have entertained myself during long journeys by contemplating the things I am going to miss when I switch marques and, as the subject...

Don't ask me why but I decided to see if I could sell my C63 today, so I posted it on PistonHeads. I only intended to test the water. Used 2008 Mercedes-Benz AMG C63 AMG for sale in South Yorkshire | Pistonheads Chuff me within 5 mins I got my first phone call from a dealer who made an...

well decided to dabble in the world of fancy polish and waxes and bought a small sample jar of do do juice wax.. had a little read up about it and though what the heck lets give this snake oil a go..!! well after polishing the car with my Auto glym resin polish i carefully applied the do do...

It's been great fun but it's just one of those things... Around 3 years ago I sold my Sprinter and 210 320CDI estate and opted for a Vito 120 Sport. The Sprinter was a good load-lugger - The 210 was also capable of carrying a certain amount of equipment, but its important attributes were that...
