[Doctor Gollum]

or an E63 before they made it a v6

They did what? Silly Mercedes, pandering to Greta. What year did they turn it into a eunuch?

Just checked, post '16 W213 is a 4.0 v8... Phew, that was close...

Just been considering a suitable replacement for my 3.2 when the time comes.Spending 24mpg on a v6 petrol can see the sense in trying to improve that as running costs in fuel compensate initial outlay.

once a used Mercedes gets its hooks into your wallet, 24mpg from a paid for and cheap to run car will feel like a bargain......

That's where my mind set keeps coming back to Nick...It owes me nothing and drives like a dream just conscious about the inevitable rot that seems to kill them all eventually and I  like a "plan in mind" before the a decision needs to be made.Would like to think I can get another couple of years from mine but who knows !!

Had two Mercedes a 190e & an E430 neither of them cost me anything more than service items, they were both low mileage one owner cars with full history, but in all honesty the Omega was a more comfortable car to ride in, the Range Rover however is by far the most comfortable vehicle I've ever driven.

The Boy: no merc after 1995 was actually designed, it's just a parts bin.

Having a bro who has spent the last 30 years trying to deal with Merc's designers* and help fix their issues in the face of complete ignorance and incompetence, I get to hear all too regular how bad all post 1990 Mercs are.  Bro has got so pissed off dealing with said idiots, he's decided to see out the end of his career designing for a milk float automotive manufacturer.


*they are not designers, they draw a car, they then look through the Bilstein catalogue and randomly pick some suspension parts, see what electrical gubbins is in Robert Bosch's catalogue, and then scratch their heads when it is a sack of shite.

Thanks for heads up guys....I will walk past then

Marvellous choice
