I was quoted £2200 for S class tier 1 warranty which I thought is on the high side. Car is serviced annually by MB. If the warranty is in the region of £1300, I would not hesitate to take up. But £2000+ am I wasting money as warranty does not cover wear and tear? Are you allow to leave a gap in...

My son Tim and I have just aquired a 1999 106,000 mile W210 E55 AMG Avantgarde. It's a bit rusty but was cheap enough, and we will restore it. Everything works bar the air con, and it goes like stink.:devil: My lad wanted to buy an Audi A5 on finance, but I showed him the Benz and he was...

Hey guys. Well I've finally managed to buy myself a CLS 55. I was debating whether to go for either an E55 or the CLS but was seduced by the lines of the latter and a good low miler came up in the right colour and options so bit the bullet and made the purchase. One thing that totally...

Hi Guys, I finally purchased a CLS 500 (Late 2005 Plate). All was good when I test drove it the day I purchased the vehicle, however when I took it out the next day to get some 'Monster Energy Drink', the car jerks when it changes 2nd to 3rd gear, the rest of the gears change fine its just...

Hi Guys I was thinking of buying a C250 in Jan (I figured not many sales in Jan after Xmas so I can probably get good pricing!) however i've heard the new C class is out soon (Feb 2014?). Question was, is it worth waiting until this is out as I'm guessing prices of the older model will go down...
