Hi all,
Couldn't resist a temptation and have just bought myself a Xmas gift - a silver w220:bannana: A few minor bits needed attention as they do with cars that age but overall what a CAR!! I can't stop smiling everytime I think of driving it. Having previously owned W123 (first car ever) and W202 I just can't believe how massive an upgrade I have treated myself to.
Earlier this year I was offered a deal on a 1 year old Insignia for £230 a month on PCP but as you can imagine it just didn't do it for me. When I am trying to compare the two there is basically nothing to compare.
Considering I bought the S Class for the fraction of the price of a nearly new Vauxhall, even if I factor in all the possible expensive repairs like Airmatic etc. it will still be cheaper and 100 time more comfortable. Not to mention the message it sends. After a few days I have already noticed how different other road users' attitude to you is when you are driving an S Class, even if it is 12 years old.
Wow!
