If you had to, and had £30K to spend, what would you chose?

[Stark]

Or

This seems rather specific Stark, whats the story?

If I had to pick it would have to be the roadster.

 

[Stark]

Got £10K to add to my car, and as mine is coming up to 46K miles....I need to change in the spring. If there was a low miles Sepang Coupe, I'd be all over it, but I have always had a soft spot for the CLS....and the Merc looks ok....just don't fancy swapping the 35i for a newer smaller engined model, and don't want the huge depreciation anymore

 

[sars]

SLK for me too I think, has to be a convertible for me

 

[mmm-five]

The coupé - mainly as I don't get on with roadsters, and if I simply had to choose a Merc, then I'd go with a 4-door model.

 

[bluestreak56]

The SL will hold its value better and looks better in my opinion, but obvious lack of practicality. Theyre both nice motors..

 

[Stark]

SLK has good spec, and a 250

CLS for me I've always had a soft spot for them too!

[Maniac]

CLS for me if I could only have one car.. Having driven the slk which IMHO was awful.

Remember depreciation is only depreciation when you sell. Keep hold of the e89...

 

[KERMIT1970]

Anything but a Merc ! Except a black edition !lol

 

[Stark]

Moneypit, I said 30K for a car, not 30K for petrol!!

Maniac, very profound almost....and very true!!

 

[NeilP]

Wouldn't chose either given my recent experience with customer service from Merc.

Good luck though!

 

[jamiez]

Neither - Masser Gran Turismo!

 

[mr wilks]

CLS for me without any hesitation for me the previous front on the SL & SLK was much nicer :wink:

 

[micz4]

SLK definitely,i wish i had waited for it to be launched rather than buying my Z4 in hindsight

 

[The Moneypit]

Moneypit, I said 30K for a car, not 30K for petrol!!

pmsl.
A sub £30k Bentley is easily tempting. . . . a £30k annual petrol bill is guaranteed.

I need to marry a rich arab..... (not that I've met a poor one!)

 

[jonnyfive]
