--- Quote from: Saffy on June 14, 2012, 18:47:29 ---decided to sell my disco auto and get an estate car of some sort - going to look at a merc on weekend. Disco is surplus to requirements and its days have been numbered for some time - just getting around to doing something about it.  The ultimate plan was to keep it to the bitter end and when it died use it's auto box to convert my defender - but not to be.

I had a  look at some estate cars for other half a few weeks ago,found some tidy MBs also noticed a lot of them have the tin worm starting around arches,tailgates,bonnet edges, also was not impressed with the huge area of plastics that MB call a dash
but overall boring old irons,step in Jaguar Xtype great 2,0 or 2.2 d ford engines wicked leather seats a dash that shouts drive me and not known for any rust props in the trade ,also Volvo V50 worth a look,BUT when my Rangie was in garage they loaned me a Hyundai santa fe and was i surprised full of goodies super comfy 2.4 that gave around 30-35 also just nice to drive has been tow car of the year loads of times BUT ugly as sin :rolleyes: was sorry to see it go forgot huge load area for big dogs !and soft4x4 for snowy times.

Must say the paint on our Benz is poor and it is only 9 years old, the 90 is better and it is 14 this time.

Saffy:
the boss' two merc also starting to bubble around the front arch, I say starting - his older merc has hole size of fist - but he let it get that bad.

merc - jag and volvo are on the list ...... don't care really though - it's will be a dog carrier for mrs in the mornings and weekends and a commuter for me during week - that is its role. Only reason I don't get a van instead is because i have to cross the severnbridge every other weekend and the toll charge for van is silly. My 110 is king of the fleet and s1 is the toy, mrs has the KAR for commute.  Really we could live with just kar and defender with s1 as backup communter when defender breaks down  :grin:

LandRoger:
Buyers market loads out there for reasonable money , other half liked a Volvo V40 1.9d on a 04

Bishops Finger:
