Bye Bye

[Brendan]

well, my is220d is gone, picked up my new c 220 cdi mec 2day. loved the 220d but time for a change. and a bigger boot. had no kids whenn got lex and have 2 now. had intended to get a new 220 last jan but the deal fell through, as it happens got a new 09 pre reg merc (14 km on clock) with mettalcic, full leather, Bluetooth, avantegaurd grill, electric memory heated seats and taxed for 4 grand less than the base model 220 would have cost me las jan. that said i loved the lexus, i never had the issues that some had, mpg was 43 for my 3 year 9 months of ownership, never had any creaks and rattles. felt i had to change as ca was knocking on 4 years old, neer keep a ca longer than 2 before. with expected road tax increase of 10% in the budget annual road tax would be almost a grand, as mec is under new system its 300 euro. i reckon would hae had poblems moving on nex year plus the local lexus garages hae closed down in the last 6 months sardso its a 2 hour drive either way to one. loved the forum and checked it most days, didn't post too much though.

regards

Brendan

Good luck with the new car Brendan :D Hope you enjoy it as much as you did the Lexus

good luck.

I like the new merc also, specially the avantgarde, but I'd go for 180 kompressor.
