After two and a bit years my time in a sport is now coming to an end.
Putting our holiday home up for sale over in the Lake District means the sport won't be required to carry the clan plus dog across country in comfort and safety anymore.

We quite liked the sport despite its little niggles and would definitely consider one in the future.
I have found this forum interesting and very useful so i'll probably still drop in just to see what's going on etc.

The sports replacement in a brand spanking new Mercedes C220 diesel amg sport plus in black

If anyone selling is interested I managed to get 23.5k as a trade in.

I'll be putting my tow bar in the for sale section should anyone be interested.

Adios amigos

Thinking about changing mine in for a C class aswell not sure if its worth it as I only really drive it 1 week a month and the mrs uses it rest of the time. Some good deals out there for brand new C63`s aswel.

Yes the offers are good.
A 'proper' AMG would be nice but I'm trying to reign it in a bit

£450 plus VAT is a common monthly price bandied about for a W204 C63 AMG...

I guess that's with a 75% deposit  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀
TDV8 Sport HSE...... Gone. Loved it but it didn't love me!!
Now rolling in MY10 Fullfat TDV8 Vogue. Slammed it to go round corners🙈
Cruising daily #56 mph in a Volvo V8. 😱
Lots of other toys in the cupboard...😜

Bloody hell
As I have never leased a vehicle I'm obviously put of touch. Mind you if I do have to buy a new Sport, I will get finance on it simply to have a bit more leverage when it goes wrong  2x TDV6. SE and HSE. Both returned to sender with issues👀

Same here, I only buy cars by cash or HP.

Although I'm tempted by some of the deals going about, especially this BMW 6 series offer:

C class is a nice car, I have one as well s my full fat, sadly it isn't a patch on my rangey and I'm sure wont be a patch on the ride of your sport, I'm trading mine in this summer for a sport. Beautiful looking cars tho Mercedes these days!

Hope your happy with the merc

I know someone had one and couldn't get it out the drive when it snowed and he was considering a sport because reliability was so bad on his merc

He went for bmw in the end and still can't get out the drive when it snows  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

Sounds like your mate needed to invest in some winter tyres.
I know a few BM owners and winter tyres make a huge difference.

Unlike Land Rovers fantastic reliabilty
