Just selling/replacing my work XJ so have given to my brother to sell for me. He sells all my cars for me as it is his line of work and business. Much easier this way ;)
Always happy to do a nice deal for a MB Club UK member though either as private sale from me or through my brother retail...
I am after secondhand e350 and see a couple of vat qualifying ones around. My question is are these priced the same (inc vat) as a non qualifying car?
Ie if there were two identical in all aspects cars, but one was vat qualifying (ie from a leasing company etc) and one wasnt, would the vat...
On my W203 Coupe, is this reasonable? Having only had a B with this garage before and my last A was on a different car (and through a Mercedes specialist, not the dealership)
How much cheaper would I get it, if I tried?
Any opinions welcome :thumb:
Is this a record?
My E270 Estate has been telling me to "Visit Workshop", with a picture of my car with an arrow pointing upwards, since before Christmas. I had to go to the main dealers for some more bits for the car and thought I would have a quick word with the service department to find...

Just had a look on the Mercedes website and they now have the new price list for the E Class Coupe, (and probably other models as well).
The prices have increased by more than the VAT change and so Mercedes are obviously taking advantage of the situation and have added a bit more on as well...
This from the What Car Web Site.
Land Rover has become the latest manufacturer to offer protection against the rise in VAT to 20%, but there is a way every buyer can avoid the increase – even on cars delivered six months into 2011.
Place an order before the increase in VAT on January 4, 2011...
So after weeks of shopping around for the best deal - talking to 30+ dealers, i have finally got a super super SUPER Deal on a brand new car and deposit put down...
If any one wants to have a guess as to what i bought, please do..
All will be revealed on arrival in December - which is already...
I've been browsing the Sales Lists at Blackbushe and noticed a couple of the cars that caught my eye were described as "VAT Qualifying".
These were 40,000 mile 2008 models.
So what exactly is VAT Qualifying about a car of this age and how does effect me as an individual or if I choose to buy...
I saw some car bits advertised on ebay before Christmas and the seller was a commercial breaker. All the parts they were selling were advertised with a price which included VAT. Delivery was quoted as an extra price, again including VAT.
I entered into discussion about a part they were...
Hi everyone.
Last year I easily changed the Vat rate from 17.5% to 15% on our Access dbase.
However, since upgrading from Office 2003 to Office 2007 a few months ago I don't know my way around this software as well as I used to. :doh:
It used to be just a case of going into the system...
I know some on here aren't fans of CKS Performance, but I've used them a couple of times with no problems.
I've just ordered an Eibach anti-roll bar kit from them and was pleased to find out they're not charging VAT in January!!
Only a few days left, but thought it worth a mention.;)

If a dealer buys a car in for X and sells it for Y does he have to pay VAT on the profit...?
I was in my MB dealership this morning - looking at a SLK and when he told me that I thought Bullsh!t...but didn't want to push the point incase I was wrong..:rolleyes:
Looks like Mercedes are having trouble shifting the R-Class and have started shoving them out via leasing companies. Only £375/month inc VAT from here:-

It's not really my cup of tea, but if I needed a car of this size it has to be a bit...
Just had the battery in my 190E die. Turns out that it's the original, as fitted in the factory, and has lasted 12 years (can't complain about that!).
Called my nearest M-B dealer in Harrogate to see if they could replace it. They could, for £72, which seemed reasonable. But then they told me...
