...might even consider B4's all around when shocks need replacing.  :o

Mine lasted less than a year before they started leaking. ::)

Two years, 75K for the rears on the daily. starting to mist so a little job to do before the next MOT.

This is the problem, very mixed reviews on B4's. Although I'd be annoyed at 2 years, but guess 75k off sets that.

Aaron, if it's transport rather than a toy, the 525i is more than competent  :y

If you fancy summat alternative, plenty of W124 Mercs around ;)

I think Honest John may simply be deluded.. I mean, give it 10 years and there won't be any MGFs left to be classics! They'll all have been scrapped due to the inevitable K series failure. (And I have a soft spot for them - I still think they're a decent looking car, though I prefer the TF)



It's actually rot in the sills and subframes that's killing them now. Previous shoddy repairs just make the decision to scrap one easier. Just like an Omega, E39, E-class or any other car that's over the hill and worth nothing.

For me, they are Mercedes from the decade that styling forgot. Though there are two W123's around the corner from me (one LPG'd car in blue, one red convertible) that I think you'd love ;) If they ever have a for sale sign on them...

Exactly 250 on equivalent website here in Spain.

Cars are kept going here forever!
Yea, but the ones on the UK have got 4 doors, 5 seats and come with a Windscreen.  ::) ;D

The fronts have done more (about 100K as fitted to a previous car) but the car is always fairly loaded with kit so the rears are working hard.

Sad times for you young man. By the time electric cars are the only option I will be brown bread.  ;D
Five litre V8 Merc next time for me - hopefully.  :)

It is a shame about the demise of Vauxhall though. At least in years to come we will be able to look back on the fact that we were owners of the last decent car they ever made.  :y
.



The Omegas were excellent cars undoubtedly, I changed to a V8 Merc almost 3 years ago a W210 E430 never a popular model but I always liked them , found a real minter with just 30,000 miles from new & full MB history + receipts & all tax discs in a ring binder now getting close to 40,000 miles and hasn't missed a beat .All it has had done since I have had is oil changes at MB & two rear tyres fuel consumption is excellent 32 mpg on a run  & always attracts comments on its condition 19 years old in January & has never failed an MOT, and makes me smile every time I drive it, came with original bill of sale just over Ł55,000 new .

The only bit about that I like is the wheels - I've always liked those wheels for some reason.

I toyed with the idea of one of these in estate trim, though: https://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/chrysler/300c/chrysler-300c-srt-8/8710534
Looks only a mother could love, but who doesn't want a Hemi?

I think the wheels are AMG monoblocs. I really should know as I have a similar set on my 190, albeit in 15 inch form.
To me, Chrysler 300c says very unsuccessful drug deelah.  :D
I don't want a hemi. Imo yank engines are shite. Always have been , always will be. Any number of European or Jap V8 engines that are far superior in every way.
Tin hat on.  ::) ;D
