CSL gone, this is the new toy

Lovely bit of kit mate, I fancy one myself but looking at the thread on here a few days ago re running costs I may give it a miss!
Enjoy

If I had one I would definitely tune it :D There's some really nice kits for it out there. Its all good apart from the interior, I wish they had made the design better, its just really boxy and bland for my taste

Car has about 28 months warranty left

I think the interior is awesome!!!

I thought the running costs were high too but having looked into it abit its not that bad really.

Tyres are expensive for Dunlops ~£1800 a set (Bridgestones are bit cheaper)

Service every 6000 miles or 6 months ( for 6k & 12K service it is around £850 from Main dealer)

I won't be tracking mine so don't have to worry about the pre & post inspections

Insurance is a lot but thats due to my age rather than the car

Discs and pads will last due to me not tracking and the main dealer has told me prices already and its not too scary

Doesn't sound too bad then. Hmm, I am tempted I must admit.

My business partner used to work for middlehurst many moons ago. So I only know him through him, we work on any Mercs they get in too.

We bumped into Andy at karting last year, his son was quite a little racer.



He can peddle a bit in a car can Andy

I think running costs can be high, but like anything it all depends how you treat it. I would not worry.
