v6 255 or merc sl

[2004]

who said about keeping up with neighbours ? thats your presumption.

if i wished to that i would go and buy a "c" reg vauxhall astra in red and leave it in the sun all day without any polish !

and for your information girlracer certain merc sls still fetch circa 25 - 30 k depending on condition, age and milage.

dont know whats cheap about £15,000 or £25,000 or £30,000

if you owed that money you wouldnt think it a "cheap" amount !!???

sit at the back of the class.

Cmon, make your bloody mind up - the wait is killing us!!!

The voices are saying Buy the v6, buy the v6 - Mercs are for old boring gits...)

hehehe wellllllllllllllll ive kept the 172 - i honestly couldnt bear parting with her.

i feel for the car more than my old golf gti mk2 16v ! and thats saying something !

so ive bought a a 430 AMG CLK Convertible (amg wheels, bodykit and suspension mods)

not quite the old git !! but halfway there !!!

dont shoot me guys !!

hehehe the 430 is quite quick on accelaration - not sure of exact figures and it gives me the best of both worlds.

just couldnt get rid of the 172 - means too much to me.

is it just me or is anyone else on here really "attached" to their 172 ?

absolutely. I couldnt contemplate changing it until I could afford a V6

They are 279bhp, but at 1800kg they are only 155bhp per tonne, not much more than your 172 and below the V6 255s
