Just humour me for a minute...

As some of you know, I've put my C36 up for sale and was intending to drop a '55 lump in the 'C43, then maybe look at supercharging it.

In a moment of clarity today, this struck me as being a bit silly; why not sell both AMG's and buy a C32? After all, I've got a bit of a crusade to own every C-Class AMG at some point...

I did think of selling them both and putting the proceeds from the sale of my D3 HSE towards an ML63, but I've set my heart on the V8 twin-turbo diesel now.

The moment of clarity has descended back into a haze, so I'd like your thoughts or alternative ideas please.

As I'm sure you know, It's so often easier and cheaper to buy and sell standard cars than to start modifying them. So sell the lot and buy a C32. Then 4 months later sell the C32. Ad infinitum. Die happy and poor

C32's the way to go....

I would look at what I primarily want (the V8 CDI, for example) and if the hobbies had to go to fund it, then so be it.

If you end up with what you want (or a newer/better version by using the combined pool of funds) you won't be regretting it.

If you were planning to turn the C43 into an ersatz 'C55', why not just buy a C55? Or do you need a C32 first to maintain the sequence? And you do realise what your mission will result in your owning one day...

Will someboy please tell this imbecilic machine that when I type "L" I want "L" not "l"

Buy a C55. It is a much more complete car.

The V8 ML is happening, either way pal.

If I jump to a W203 C55, that'll do my OCD no good; it has to be in sequence because once I get a W203 C55 then I can't see me going backwards to a C32.

And yes, I've already bought the flack jacket for when the time comes to buy a C63...

A four pot diesel? If the day ever came where I was that hard up, I'd rather walk.

The time for a W203 C55 will come Charles.

There is more than a touch of looking in a mirror in my awareness!

A 202 C55 will be much faster than a C32.

I have proven it at Brunters vmax vs a 400bhp one.

Also at Santa pod I got better 1/4 mile times.

The 202 is better built and much much more reliable than the 203 C32

I would get a late C55 203 if you want a 203. They are great cars.
