Hi
Having had a 3 month break from Mercedes, had a Golf GTi Mk5, realised how much I missed having a Mercedes.
Had a few issues with the DSG gearbox on the golf which was resolved at a cost of £2300 - luckily paid through warranty - but had no confidence in the car and at the end of the day wanted a Mercedes back. Hindsight is a good thing - should never have sold my Black CLK320 - but there you are.
Hence have bought a 2008 280 Convertible - black with red seats - see photos.
Bought from a reputable dealer in Kent - but didn't enjoy paying the admin fee of £192! - can't see why? However premises were good and treated me well - didn't get what I thought the golf was worth - but they went over the car with a fine tooth comb and pointed out quite a few issues which I couldn't deny.
Also don't agree with the £500 road tax. As I looked at another 2008 280 and the road tax was £295. I understand the tax bands but do not agree with it. However, liked the car too much to put me off - there is always compromises and the Tax and admin fee was the compromise.
