mercs

As the weather has been lovely I've been polishing my 190 2.5 16 to death - anyone fancy a general meet while this weather continues but with an older vibe (cars not people, not that I'm ageist or anything).

This won't appeal to some but here goes. Time was when BMs were scarce and exclusive. I was lucky to own several. I then started noticing more and more until they became one of the most common cars on the road. I had given them up by that stage c 1999. They then became more and more ugly every...

Hi all I am a new member and would like to find out if in the UK all the w124 models are being shipped to Nigeria for parts, here in Ireland we find it hard to get parts they all come from the UK, its sad to see such a fast decline here, I have a soft spot for the W124 and hate to think in a...

Any one got some advice on remaps for my 2005 w203 c220cdi, ie is it worth doing, any recommendation of a decent company to use. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

no idea what this was? smart for a van !! Lights up !!

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...

Are there (m)any? Since I'll be staying in New Zealand for probably 12 months it would be super cool if I found a decent W201 or W124 for a reasonable price there. What I know so far is that there are plenty of (older) Asian cars and vans which are not my cup o' tea though ... I reckon...

Merry Christmas all! Yet to own a Merc but have set my sights (and ears) on a CLS AMG. Would be much obliged for any help on what to look out for on buying one and any pointers on which block/options etc to go for. Thoughts so far are leaning towards a 50-60k mile 2006 CLS55 AMG...

I saw this driving in the lanes near home, swmbo managed a quick snap as we drove by. Yesterday I saw a 124 coupe with sec grill conversion driving down Park lane. Lots of traffic and no time for a photo! I have recently been seeing quite a few 190's about!

Hi all, My dad is looking for a 10k newer merc - what would be a good second hand buy? I'm thinking a CLS maybe or an E class sport. Must be diesel with about 60k miles max. Might ask him to check out the CLS500 but I reckon it'd be too juicy. Any advice appreciated. Thanks, Bill

Hi I am new to Mercedes and this forum looks the biz! I have always have had Italian cars apart from my very first car a 3000 GT Mk1 Capri :thumb:That's was beast! 30 years later and I have another V6 at last! C320 Coupe petrol back to 22mpg again :) may be a bit more :D. so is the C320 that I...

Afternoon all I thought it would help people filter me out as it were if I was to include a clue or 2 in the title I have have just traded my Scimitar SS1 in against a 1994 SL320. I havent picked it up yet, it could be ready for the weekend or by early next week. Its my first Mercedes and I was...

Couple of nice cars in front of me driving home last night. The first one was a facelifted E350 estate, in silver, with five spoke AMG wheels. It was new (unregistered - on the back of a single vehicle transporter); hadn't appreciated that the rear of the car had been nicely tidied up in the...

Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este 2013 - Detailing World Just look at the tailpipes on the Bugatti !

I get confused and dont know a clk from an slk is there an easy formula .I get the feeling a E class is superior to a C class yet inferior to a S class yet i see a C class C63 and that throws a spanner in the works as thats surely superior to most others.It seemed easier years ago with say a...

In the last two years I've had a 2007 BMW Z4 M Coupe, a 2005 BMW M3 Convertible and a 2006 BMW 535d M-Sport Touring (still have this) Well having just bought the Exige and wanting a car to use to soak up the miles for work, but something cheap, the Mercs seemed to have aged a lot better than...

My owned from new C Class 220 CDI on a 2000, it has 160K miles and is MOTd and Taxed, HOWEVER someone has kindly crashed it for me and I do not think it is worth a repair. The bonnet, grille and bumper are damaged and the rad no longer holds water but it starts, runs and will drive to load. I...
