And its not real without a video....

Did you actually buy this car? If so, congratulations! It looks magnificent, and I hope you're proud of it.

Also, I didn't know you were from the UK. Is that you behind the wheel? It shall be interesting to see your thoughts once you drive it, if you haven't already.

Yes Dala, I've commited to buying it, that was just a picture I took when I first viewed it.

I've since driven it and it is superb, so comfortable, stable and fast. You wouldn't believe a 4 door saloon (or is that Sedan in the colonies?!?) would have this sort of performance, especially running on diesel but it does. Yet at the same time is quiet and refined. Have to say I'm impressed and very happy

I actually take ownership in a fortnight or so as the garage are going to service/valet it and also send the alloys off for refurb as they have some marks on them. I can't wait

Chuffed for you Nigel's, it's always good when you get to buy new toys - train type or other! I'm a big fan of cars, but I've never had a Mercedes and I've never had a car newer than 2003!!!! I'm sort of hoping my diesel Renault Clio terminally fails so I can replace it, but it just keeps soldiering on, and on, and on! When do you get to pick it up? So exciting!

I've never had a German car full stop, in the past most were Fords or Vauxhalls (company cars), until my last couple which were a Peugeot, Rover and finally a Peugeot 406 HDi, the last one of my company cars which I ended up buying and have had ever since (16 years old now with nearly 200k miles on it lol).

I wasn't intending to buy a replacement, but the pug was in the shop for a service and while there I asked the owner what he thought of Jaguars (I work for one of the Tata companies who own Jaguar so can get a new one at a good discount). But he reckons they are not so good, depreciate very badly and after 3-4 years tend to have reliability issues.

Then as I was leaving he mentioned he had the Merc (they don't normally sell cars, just repair them) and asked if I'd like a look. Well I looked, went back a couple of days later and test drove it and was sold on it. I should be getting it in about 2 weeks time

Anyone want a Pug 406? One careful owner from new?

Wish I was old enough (or rich enough) to buy a car thats bigger than 1/60 scale...
