Well after the crash on Sunday and my two passengers being hurt, although thank God they are slowly recovering from their whiplash injuries, at least I have the benefit of a good loan car under the terms of my policy;  a virtually brand new (1800 miles) Mercedes E320 CDI Auto saloon to drive around in .

Lovely car, full leather and all the extras, but all I really want is my lovely Omega back  (alright, they can give it a few weeks if they like! ) !!  

It is interesting how this Mercedes is considered the equivilant of my 2.5 CDX Auto 8-) 8-) 8-)

Hmmm... Time to bend my car

Actually... Shame on me for even making that comment

Glad there's been an upside though Lizzie

Thanks LD, the rest of it has been a nightmare but yes at least there has been this upside.  Ever cloud has a silver lining, it is said!

You must have fluttered your eyelashes .......Lizzie.
The last loan car I received was a Fiat Panda.
I suppose........that is what happens .............when you are a man..........and an ugly bastard   like me.

Know what you mean Lizzie, while mine was being repaired they gave me a nearly brand new BMW 318d 2.0 M Sport (not M3 unfortunately ). Quite how they considered that was the equivalent of a 3.2 MV6 estate I don't know. Mind you, the economy was fantastic - around 55mpg even when driving "enthusiastically"!!

imho the 320CDI merc engine is far superior too any vauxhall diesel engine! its great very tourqey and its a V6!

[STMO999]

I see this thread is titled 'Some consolation'.

Surely that should read 'Some compensation'.

Nice one Lizzie  Someone ran into my MGF a couple of years ago and my loan car was a brand new MX5 sport, I didn't want my MGF back but they fixed it.

Oh yes, it is a lovely car to drive and the gear box is superb, with a lovely 'kick' when accelerated only lightly 8-) 8-) 8-)

It has certainly made me think again about having a  Mercedes (had a C220D once for just four months), and when the Omega's disappear I may well go for one of these (I'll be able to afford then with any luck!! )

It is of course clever hidden marketing Bob as a hire/loan car can persuade you about what to buy in the future

Yeah STMO, I have told them I will have the Merc instead of having my Omega back on the road; you know some form of scrappage scheme, with someone else paying the difference on the price!!  

You can imagine their reply!!!
