Bargain at £170,000.00 for a Merc hatchback. 

All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

170k would be a bargain. It's going to be more like £900k+ with only 25 being made.

Sorry yes, I meant £710,000. Advertised at a million dollars. A VERY expensive Merc hatchback.Dark Diggler wrote: Wed Nov 06, 2024 4:47 pm 170k would be a bargain. It's going to be more like £900k+ with only 25 being made.

That being said he didnt mention the interest rates on used cars which is another big factor! Im after a 7 seater and was looking at a Defender from Land Rover today and the interest was 14.9% eye watering! Made the monthlies as much as buying a new one.

Yes, I have been hearing adverts on the radio for 'approved used' VWs recently. I think their interest rate is something like 14%. That's ridiculous, especially when interest rates are falling in general.tomscott wrote: Wed Nov 06, 2024 6:01 pm That being said he didnt mention the interest rates on used cars which is another big factor!

I'm not a fan of that.
I'd rather have an Aston Martin Zagato Shooting Brake.

Me neither.
I could sell my house and live on the street aswell as cash in my pension and use every penny in the bank to buy one of those......or....be warm and comfortable and not have one.

That was a Merc G wagon. With 850bhp admittedly. A 2.5 tonne dinosaur of a car.
