Appart from the usual 'shock and awe' Fail reporting I smell a rat... the door is a completely different colour to the rest of it, pearlescent paint notwithstanding

Judging by the figures he quotes; about 6 months..........

[tidla]

A week.

[vauxlooney]

Come to think of it that's roughly what i have spent on mine this week ,but that does include the purchase price.

[vauxlooney]

I meant 1k, not 30k obviously

Oh, so a couple of days then..........

[Ever Ready]

Perish the thought that a main dealers 'technician' would abuse a customers car tut tut tut

No doubt thought it's just another S class 


It could have been worse

It could have been an SLR

Bought new, the SL65 AMG would cost £170,000 -  Mr Guest bought his car in 2010 for £40,000 and has spent £30,000 on maintaining it

OMG, you would have to be barking to pay that for a Stuttgart taxi!

You can get an Aston for less!
