    There are only two types of people: Those that like cars and those that don't. If you like cars and if you do high miles and spend more time in your car than at home, then theres a strong argument to say sod it and lump the equivalent of your sofa, mortgage and home hifi budget into somewhere where you will spend most of your time. But only if you can afford it...

    Yes had a look at the E class coupe but the doors open very wide and prefer the 4 door sal.

    All new Mercedes are pre-ordered to customers own spec. If you buy new off the shelf, then they are either cancelled orders or the garage is not doing well and are using ghost customers to keep their franchise. You might be able to buy below cost!
    Previously I have bought two new Mercs, one was in Cyprus, it was very much cheaper than the UK, (drove back via the ferry and Italy) the other was ordered in Switzerland and collect from the factory in Sindlfingen. (They gave a factory tour as well)
