I would have a Lotus like this: |
0007 - I got a car at British Car Auctions in January for 8800 ( a long way below trade ), no guarantee, one wing mirror only half working, cruise control not working. Nothing else gone wrong since
'98 Jaguar Sovereign 4.0 LWB auto
If you only know in general terms what you want and have the cash it will probably work well. You take a risk and usually make a good saving. I normally buy my cars at auction. Choice of 500? cars, from 1000 -> 40000
There's a website, I think by paying 5 pounds or something you can access their list of cars for a few months |
Gwagon tank...why buy something as ugly as this? Its not even cheap to run, the sevicing costs alone will bankrupt the average punter. Overpriced german mechanicals that never wear out....cos the owners go bankrupt trying to run them in the first place...always plenty of LOW milage examples about. |
Slight change of tack - HOW would you buy?
It's new car time - do I pay cash up front or go for one of the contract purchase/lease options? I'm a private buyer - with no business angle to consider. Anyone got experience of this - any recomemndations for sellers etc?
Cheers, 0007 (can't afford the DB7!) |
Spud,
Too true!
I couldn't justify it even if I could.
But, I could certainly justify a second-hand one.
Just found the UK G-Wagen site I mentioned above. Here it is......
And another site of general interest...........
And finally......................
Sigh! :-)

TP...you cant afford it :) ... |
Went, yesterday, to the Mercedes Belgium headquarters here in Brussels.
Seriously impressive showroom.
Drop dead gorgeous G-Wagen on display.
An interesting half-hour.

agincourt...no image.. why do i get a box with a little cross in it? |
eMpTy glass,
Is the one on the left Renault's replacement for the truly ugly Avantime ?
Had an X5 - excellent vehicle, now replaced by a Range Rover 4.4 V8 Vogue - the best of German engineering and British style - and for fun, a Lotus Elise 111R - the best of British style and engineering plus a cracking Japanese engine .....

5 litres? Pah! Who needs engines anyway.
next event, August 2004 at Knebworth. |
Nothing wrong with the M class but you really need the 5 litre. I still prefer my SL but it is not so good for transporting dogs. |
Hi Tp ..the M-Class and the X-5...just perfect for those school runs !
having said that ..I test drove an X5 and liked it ....just didnt like the price as much !...hope you're having fun drinking all that Belgian beer ! |

Spud,
Ta. I knew that, but had forgotten that I did.
It is precisely the rawness that appeals to me.
The M-Class is strictly for Sainsbury forecourts!
I remember in the last series of the Sopranos, shortly before his demise, Ralphie desribing the Boxster as a "Porsche in panties." Ditto the M-Class! ;-)
If you want a Porsche, buy a second hand 911 before buying a new Boxster.
Hope you are VERY well.

If you hire the TR4A keep off the M'ways it will be much more fun down the country lanes. If you must go on a major road from Warwick then try tye Fosseway through the Cotswolds - watch out for speed cameras though. |
Good for me, may even hire one for a full week!. I will give it a good blast down the M1.
LOL |
Not bad for you, or not bad for them?
;o)
(If they're making money at it, maybe worth setting up something similar elsewhere) |
Thanks Optimist.
..................
Cheers M.T.Glass - £150 for a day's hire on a TR4A not bad value. |
TP...the G wagen was actually made in Austria for Mercedes by Puch-Steyr...its not actually a Mercedes really except in name ...its a bit basic and much less refined than you'd expect from a Merc ...never had one myself but know several people who did ... |
