Cars are like vans, but usually smaller.

I only ever seen these been used as minicabs, especially near Heathrow on the M4

my son wants one, he keeps and telling me to buy one. I said when you grow older and you buy one and I will drive it! simples :smiley:

Your point? Do you have a link to a good deal on it that's better than this?

Got a metallic silver one for £189 pm through target. Just a couple left... Business lease

I have just collected this car after seeing this deal on here. Was a bit wary of the whole Drive the Deal thing, shouldn't have been, everything so simple, the only way I will ever buy a new car again. Delighted with the car overall, especially for the price paid, an absolute bargain.

S63 or S65 is better!

​Haha! Yes! Don't know why my phone thinks 'bestiary' is the word I was going for though...!

Autocomplete? :wink:

Yep they are all con merchants.

I gave up, just not bothered to rent again, unless I have to.

Escalate it. Forget the muppets that answer phones. Otherwise contact Watchdog and others they maybe can help.

Is there any quidco on this?

They are just a website which has managed to get people to submit deals - they aren't finding jack. All of my purchases found through HUKD are done via Google search. I never click Get Deal.

slow.. cold.

250 is awesome I love mines, 50+mpg

250 CDI is always better

bargain I've ordered a dozen.

Thanks HUKD. Go to google, seartch drive the deal = avoid giving hukd any money through affiliate link.

this is because a moderator is deleting my posts.

No point really just saying if people wait a bit more the price will drop again 2016 a different e class is coming.

How does the Benz compare with the BMW.

The new model is out next year. Completely revamped inside and out.

In five years time diesel cars will be no more.
The pollution they are causing in cities and the impact they are having on people's health is now starting to be revealed.
Local authorities will have no choice other than to either ban diesel cars from towns and cities or to charge.

They don't have to repair it merely show they suffered a loss. In reality this is easy to do as they can get an estimate from a Mercedes repairer for a bumper spray and add on loss of use for two days. Your best way is by being a pest and offering to pay something reasonable such as £150 and ask them to prove loss
It is then down to more I can't be bothered attitude as it will cost them to attend a small claims court and they will view it as not worth the trouble
They will be able to prove a loss of 300 relatively easily though unless you can prove existing damage to the same part of the vehicle

The best lease deals tend to be on the cars with the best reductions on list prices, as the finance conditions tend to stay the same per manufacturer.
I've recently put in an order for a new car (not this one) and found that Drivethedeal are the best priced of the online brokers for my general requirements. You spec up the car you want on their website, they give you an overall price and will get PCP quotes direct from their dealer. If you go ahead, you deal direct with the dealer. Can't hurt to get a few finance quotes!

I did contacted their head office, they are telling the same story, they then promised to provide me the repair bill within 3 months, but they never did.

That's a lame answer when a 15 year old prius has touch screen

I've got a personal lease on this car too. £2250 up front, £250 a month, 8k a year, 10p per mile over that. Great car!! I believe it's only the interior that is being changed next year.

contracthireandleasing.com has price comparisons. Watch the excess mileage charges, up front payments and admin fees

Due to HUKD I'm considering, for the first time, leasing a car - all these subliminal messages :smile:. Where do you start? Is there a website that tells you how to find the best deal or do you just trawl the internet looking at leasing firms? What should I be wary off, apart from rip off scratch costs (very useful info, thanks Splender). Conversely, where do you find these firms that sell new cars way below list price?

All info gratefully received.

Another 40 grand car for 30 grand. Good deal but still well out of my price range. Can anyone find me a 30 grand car for 20 grand?!?

Absolute awful interior design. So many buttons and knobs it is like a cockpit. Why the multi purpose screen (sat nav radio etcetera) isn't touch screen is beyond me. kept mine 12 months and got rid. But heat for the price

Yes, really need to shaft or hold these rip off merchants to account else this sorts of behaviour gets around like cancer with people ripping each other off. Like, I was ripped off, why shouldn't I rip you off attitude. Moreover this attitude gets into privatised NHS parts and you are dead meat getting ripped up by profiteering.

They really will stick an AMG badge on anything these days

This is the car where the auto box f&*ks up and costs loads and loads to repair.

Why not get the Axiam Coupe, it's a lot cheaper, it's a 400cc diesel with 5HP and a huge MPG . It says in the AD "CAN BE DRIVEN AT 16", to be fair to the car it actually does 28MPH.

Should have complained to Head Office and spoke to the top dogs there and made such a fuss that they would refund you or you would contact Watchdog or such like. Rent a Con is more realistic.

Nice price but not needed yet :smiley:

Seriously, write to Watchdog at the BBC, plus the Office of Fair Trading, or even the police. It is a major industry scam, massive overcharge, technically, it is theft or fraud because they have obtained a financial advantage by a false misrepresentation (by virtue of they money the got from you was not actually used to recover their actual loss). The reason why it is fraud or theft is that a re-spray is say £300 per time per scratch, this is reasonable, say, but a re spray for 10 scratches is £350 when batched up. So if you told a customer a false representation as you are not going straight away to re-spray, then got £300, it is theft or fraud. The burden of proof for criminal action is higher, so the alternative is going for contract law, what you do is to pay the amount for scratches and write alsoo that you paid under duress. When you contracted to hire a car there was no agreement for the amount of money to pay for scratches, so you are obliged to pay what is reasonable. Later you go to small claims court and try to claim your money back, then the car hire company will need to produce repair bills as evidence, repair bill needs to show car registration number. Under oath you pose them searching question, either they tell the truth or perjure themeselves which is damn seriously.

exactly, I asked the company to provide me the bill for that scratch, they said they will only repair it before selling the car, but they insist the scratch cost them a few hundreds pounds. They then just deduct the money from my credit card, after that incident, I never ever rent a car.

That's rip off Britain, you will find if you audit their accounts they make more money on so call scratches than the rental itself. What they do is to batch up tiny scratches having made £10k + and then respray for £300 before selling off.

then you may expect a few thousands quids bill for that chilli sauce

This version was only released in 2013 was it not?

I'm not sure, but could I have chilli sauce on that kebab :wink:

I'm currently leasing this car for 310 per month I had to put 1800 down an I can do 26000 over the 2 year lease period, brilliant deal direct from Mercedes Bolton. Lovely car an would definitely recommend it to anybody

No leathers ?

It's a good deal and voted hot, it will however look dated after the new model next year. I do have to give it to Mercedes how they face lift these cars though, lighting and the AMG trim make these cars even more desirable. I can support the argument for not putting touch screens in. The finger marks make them look rubbish. The dial control is a cracking intuitive system and with command, u don't need to touch a thing, best voice activated system around.

Business however seen just as good deals for similar personal lease prices on various leasing sites, gateway2lease etc

Lot of money for not so much.

Great car..Hot
Although will be waiting for the newer model next year as this may lose value significantly.

This is what I'm driving at the moment and it's an absolute bloody joy of a car!

Looked at this model when getting a new car, but went for the C250 AMG Premium Plus model instead. The current gen E class is lacking in interior refinement now compared to the C and S class, which are both quieter and more comfortable. Next year's version of the E class will be a stunner for sure.

This is a good deal for the savings, but I'd recommend to anyone to try looking for similar discounts on the higher end C Classes.

Cars are like vans, but usually smaller.

Another merc?
