    PCP deals help.

    Someone else over in the A4 B9 chat got himself a S4 on lease for around £1000 deposit & £220 a month I think it was for 2 year. He mentioned it was deal of the week on the leasing site he used. Unfortunately that deal doesn’t exist anymore & it’s now around £450 a month for the same car.

    PCP deals help.

    Few of you may know I’ve recently bought a 2015 b8.5 & can’t particularly get away with it. Went with the 2.0 150 engine & find it under powered for me, anyway less of the dribble. I’ve HP’d my last two cars but I’ve never gone with PCP, so don’t really have a clue. I’ll roughly have £7,000...

    Beautiful looking car mate, if it wasn’t for the MPG I’d look into one myself. Quite surprised at how cheap the 125’s are so I’m thinking of going down that route, but even a 120 would suffice.

    Help me estimate the value of my A4

    You’d be surprised how much cars depreciate month to month. A friend of mine owns quite a large garage in Newcastle & I always try to pass trade his way. When my mam had her Ford kuga I got him to value it. Can’t remember the exact figures but she couldn’t make her mind up for 3 month. It worked...

    Help me estimate the value of my A4

    Problem you’ve got is people just don’t want to part with cash anymore, especially with finance be it PCP/HP or leasing being so cheap. A friend of mine has just sold his 2010 Mitsubishi L200 warrior, after searching eBay/autotrader & local garages the equivalent truck was selling for £7500 ish...

    Honestly I find the interior of the b8.5 rubbish compared to the new C. Without sounding like an ******** maybe it’s because I’m in my early 20’s & Mercedes are trying to cater for the younger generation instead of been known for catering for older people. I’d definitely say I’ve bought the...

    Maybe, but a c class the same age of my A4 is a much better car & much more refined. Interior is way ahead & would go as far as saying it’s a much better looking car.

    I think a lot has to do with just how much your into your cars. For me, I love cars but I wouldn’t start comparing comfort, suspension etc etc. It’s more about performance & technology for me. I love the gadgets, but been in my 20’s that’s expected. Just been to the gym & spoke to a bloke who...

    Can you let me know what the M140 is like? Been searching the internet & motorpoint have a couple estoril blue ones in. Really taking my fancy & not crazy money but the interior is a little lacking. It’s a 2016 66 plate. I’ve got a DTUK fitted mate, got the CRDt box. Honestly if I didn’t have...

    One thing that annoys me the most is when I reverse off my drive & then pull away. It’s like you’ve got loads of play on the accelerator before the car reacts, but because your actually revving the engine when you do start to move it’s really aggressive.

    Pleased I made this post or I wouldn’t of known about the G20. Bmw is well & truly off the cards if I know they are bringing a new model out as I’d end up in exactly the same boat driving a car I find lacking compared to the newer generation. Looks like a trip to Audi for a B9

    I much prefer mercs interior, feels a lot classier. Got to be honest I prefer there infotainment system as well, I actually hate it on the B8.5. So complicated to work, especially through the steering wheel controls. Don’t like not having the option to just press a button to select a new radio...

    Have you got a B9 now? I wouldn’t recommend coming down to a b8.5 interior wise, the more I think about it the more dated it actually is. Especially compared to a B9. Friend of mine has 435D & it’s a brilliant car, beautiful inside and out. Like a rocket as well

    Anyone quite quickly regretted buying?

    Pleased it’s not just me then, i probably only do 20/30 mile a week in the A4 so it will take me a lifetime to do 10k in it. The S4 would definitely been a better option for me also & looking at prices they were unexpectedly lower than I thought they would be. The wife’s now not travelling as...

    Agree with almost everything you’ve said apart from the part about the sat navs, which sat nav unit are you talking about? My previous E class had the comand system & personally i think it’s a better system than the one in my b8.5. Much easier to use, but I think the whole MMI on the merc was...

    CLA interior is one thing putting me off, reminds me of my 2012 C class. The MMI is basically the same so it’s quite dated. One thing I loved about my E class was the one stalk design actually & loved having the gear selector as a stalk. The A class is a terrible car, got a Renault engine hasn’t...

    Forgot to mention, I have the last of the B8.5 (65 plate) so no VC. I always post in the B9 section as there’s more activity. Although I find the interior a little more modern than the E class I still find the b8.5 lacking. At the minute we’re looking at a CLA, but would quite like to have...

    Had my A4 Black Edition Plus in sepang blue around a month but already find myself searching the internet for something different. For some reason it just doesn’t seem to be doing anything for me, exterior wise it looks beautiful but interior & driving just don’t interest me. I drive my work van...
