An acquaintance of mine has a GLC 43 AMG. A couple of years old now....his previous was an A45 AMG in a lurid metallic green. He was telling me about the ‘new’ A45 AMG. Over 400 horse from a 2.0 4cyl unit. A far more sophisticated 4WD system than the previous model. He’s a proper petrol head, changes his cars every 3/4 years, and he reckons the cost to change from his current to the new model A45 AMG will be circa £25/30k. Sheesh.
I’ve owned 2 MB. A C180 Estate from the manager of one of my suppliers when it was 4 yo (R Reg) and an E200 estate (L Reg) from a pal who ran a taxi business....this was an ex lease car which is where he got his taxis from. That E200 was bullet proof. I used it as a small van, constantly fully loaded with stock, and it never missed a beat in 3 years of ownership. Then sold it to a supplier who used it as a delivery vehicle Monday to Friday, hoovered it out Friday night, then ran it as a family car at weekends. He didn’t pay me cash for it, just paid me in product over 6 months...it was his own business and a mutually agreeable arrangement.
