Mercedes CLS shooting brake

[Old Hack]

No I said I wasn't particularly bright. I know, this was what I said. An admission you weren't all that bright. Thanks. OH



Pull yer head from out of your arse for a minute.

Again, it's lost on you isn't it.

I am just pleased you've come to terms with the fact you're not all that bright. It was a big step for you.

You see, I like cars, always have. Not a teenage thing. You don't, I can see that by previous posts on cars you like, which also give away certain things about style and class you wish you have, but don't. However, if someone, like BS, comes on a thread, armed with his top trumps, it's kind of ok to correct him, again and again as it's proven, but that's what forums are about. I rarely post on your threads, as they're normally as dull as, well, as you are. I don't think it right to ban you from the forum, due to the repetitive dull tulip you post, as it's a forum, so you have to expect that kind of tulip.

So maybe it's not me who should get his head out of his arse, hey sas.

Again, it's away isn't it, well over those hunched shoulder.

Oh, but you see, I do, was in one 8 weeks ago when they tried to rope me into a new ML. It was actually quite amusing looking at them manipulate the figures into looking like I was getting a good deal, until I pointed out how much they were charging. I know a good deal more than you do BS, and you aint getting 0% from a Merc dealer, you just aren't. Sorry, but I know you're lying, again.

I hope your boyfriend isn't as stupid as you.

Lets take this back down to a more sensible level. It would be a shame to earn a ban while you have so little else to do.


Mercedes have a few different trades up their sleeve when you walk in the door. The more commodity the thing you want to buy then the less they will give a damn if you want it or not. So the new E-Class Coupe was doing very little because they know its new and people are queuing up for them. The CLS, ML and GL are in the same sort of league.

But The F-Type was released this year and its seriously good. So Mercedes are combating it. The first thing they did was reduce the price of the cars by 2k - 8k depending on the model. the next thing they did was add £13k wort of optional extras to the car as standard. When I first built my cooker before the Q3 offers it was topping £91k before the change for Model Year 14

Their final offer was 4 year interest free credit on the SL350 SL500 and the 63. + a dealer contribution that is nothing more than accountancy fiction. So in the end I bought a car that would have cost me 91k in may

My car deal got £4200 without even haggling the SL63 would have earned me just under £17k towards one but I have previously owned an SL320 and had considered a couple of the SL500 in the R230 versions. I am not going to throw this car around so the power in it is fine and if I have to take a job that runs me up and down a motorway all week I won't be crying about 20mpg because the one I borrowed before I took the plunge was returning me nearly 36mpg without be trying too hard to be frugal. So again considering my current temporary car was returning no more than 20MPG I will almost halve my petrol costs for better performance.

Mercedes wins in the CLS vs RS6 debate solely due to the drivers of the latter.

Oh the irony:

Early 1990s Audi Advert

Me a ban? I'd revisit who started the ad hominem.

I'd been to Merc, and have owned various Mercs since the early 90's. You'll not get 0% off them. Sorry, but I don't agree at all. I have bene down many roads with Mercedes, including the new GL, buying a new E estate, and various other options. You'll not get 0% and, sorry, but I'd not believe it unless I saw it in B&W.

As for the rest. Well, we'll see. I have a friend who works for Mclaren. Their company cars are either Mercs or Smart cars (they used to be able to get Chrysler's and Jeeps too). He has had the C250 petrol, the 250cdi, the 350 petrol, the 350cdi and a lot more besides. You'll get nowhere near what Merc have quoted on either petrol or diesel. They quote 47 for our R class, and we've never got it. You'll also lose over 60k in 3-4 years. I don't consider that good sense. Your choice, and your choice of car; respect there.

Sorry, but thats about that.

You could just ask your local dealer what offer has just expired for the SL. They have had the deal on the site for 3 months (its ended as of the end of the month. The terms were ordered by end of September and Registered by year end.) four years 0% interest. The figures was £640 per month over 5 years for an older R230 model or £700 for my own car specified to my choice.

As I have said. I was offered a demonstrator for a couple of days to make sure I did not want to up my order to the SL500. The car performed very well and returned at least 36 on the runs I used it for.

How's your new car BTW?

It's good thanks

Well regardless £700 a month for 4 years equates to £33600, so I am guessing you have put down £50k or around £25k with a £25k balloon. Well, for starters, write off the £33600 and the £25,000 deposit.

Good work.

The runs you went on, to get 36, would have been long, same speed runs. That's not an average for all types of driving. No chance.

Its only money. I had a health scare earlier in the year and so I decided to do the things I want to do before I get another one and time runs out. My family are looked after if I die so while I am on this planet its playtime.
Does it not occur to you that you could have died the weekend and left a massive pile of cash for someone else to enjoy? Meanwhile you obviously Like the Idea of an RS6 or an AMG. Why not enjoy yourself when you are back on two feet?

Seriously I don't get it.
