    Totally off topic but if the question is genuine, there's a MB owners club and forum on the net and I'll bet someone on there knows the answer.
    Couldn't you afford a decent MB like a pagoda roof SL :D or the more practical W124 estates or even an SEC?




    Bob, thanks for that, the post was a little wind up to the response of the 'have not' below, the car is only a few months old and under warranty.:D
    Squat now

    What on earth makes you think mortgages will be easier to get?

    If prices are still falling, mortgage will be nearly impossible to get.



    If you plan to sell, you need to sell now, and at a discount.


    Here's another 'have not':D
    rugged toast
    Dont get upset. Squatnow is just becomong overexcited that the credit crunch is finally eliminating gloating buy-to-let parasites.




    I bought that car for my wife , because she's the' best stripper in town ' Erm,,,wallpaper stripper, and is often covered in GREASE cleaning dirty ovens,etc, etc sometimes working until 9PM , rugged toast your such a loser!

    And you base this little jem on what?
    How many houses have you sold?
    If anyone followed your advice there would be the men in white coats not far behind

    Selling now is a bad move in my opinion, hold on to the property until the current turbulent times are over. Many people are panic selling at what they think is the height of the market however in 3-5 years I think everything will be back on the up and up. If you do not NEED to sell right now then don't as I would be kicking myself thinking that if I held onto the property for a bit longer I would have not taken a hit on the price. Now is a buyers market - not the time to be selling!

    It's actually funnier than you think because (IIRC) SquatNow drives a two-seater sports car but it isn't an MB.
    A house isn't a home without a cat.
    Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
    I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
    You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.
    It's a recession when your neighbour loses his job; it's a depression when you lose yours.
