What sort of minimum prices are we looking at now for one of these?
Is the 280 worth looking at - kinda strikes me as being a bit under-engined but am happy to be persuaded otherwise.

I'm getting the ferry from Porstmouth to Le Havre tomorrow night for Le Mans. Can anyone confirm, please, that it will be cheaper to fill up here and not there?
Anyone else going?
You may have read on the mytyres thread of my broken front spring.
Priced this on the Inchcape site A2113210404. £44.85 list. £40.37 with discount.
Bought at my local dealer. £39.00 list. £34.13 with MBOC discount.
Are Inchcape inflating list prices to make the discount look...
Just downloaded the new E-Class UK pricelist from the Mercedes-Benz website and was astonished at the standard equipment levels on the car. It looked to me like the prices of similarly spec'd C's and E's would be pretty close, so I just did a quick comparison using the C320 CDI Elegance and E350...
Drove past a Ford dealer last night. A well speced new Mondeo priced at circa £25K.
No wonder so many are sitting in giant car parks.
How many private buyers can afford to lose at least £10K in a years ownership?
Madness.
I wonder which BIG name will be the first to actually go under and not...
I know you are going to say OH not again but clever tactics again.
Fuel prices rising bit by bit each few days and then government taxes has put us back to 91.9p per litre we will soon be up to over a pound a litre.:crazy:

The articles says that Ford sales have to increase almost immediately otherwise job cuts will follow.
So what do they do?
Put prices up.

I just thought I'd highlight something.
Our local dealer has closed (Mansfield) and an advert appeared in our local newspaper about Lincoln offering to take on Mansfield customers, with money off vouchers and services from £169.
So I dropped them a mail as (what was mine but is now the the...
Some reports say 86% of new cars sold in the UK are imported and the falling pound could well lead to higher prices all round if the pound does not recover soon.
Monday Feb 2nd both Ford and GM (Vauxhall etc) announced that they are raising prices 'due to the falling pound'.
My E class...
I am wondering whether to go for a current style reg plate with "SLK" as the last 3 letters. They are all listed at £785 on the DVLA site. As someone entirely new to the world of personalised plates I was wondering if this is a bit pricey and nothing more than pure profiteering. There are plenty...
Just been looking on line at GSF and Euro Car Parts and i can't find either model listed for brake disc prices. I'm assuming that both cars are running the same discs up front hence wondering for a price on either one would give me an idea!
Anywhere online to give an idea of part prices...

Car giant got an 05 Cl500 for £14k with 50k miles; at what price would you pick up the phone and buy it? Guess it depends on your circumstances, but it would have to be £10k for me so I could afford to run it.
Not long ago on here people were taking about the price of oil dropping and fuel prices not coming down by a similar amount.
Well in May/June oil was at a peak of $147 and yesterday it was just about half that at $77 yet yesterday Tesco dropped the price of diesel by a mere 3p
Is there...
