Well collected the 43, had to go from home in Suffolk all the way to Harrogate Mercedes for the best deal.
Originally spoke with them and we couldn’t make the deal, said to salesmen I’ll leave my offer on table, replied with, well we won’t be ringing you back I can assure you of that.
But low and behold two days later he did saying that he had two other dealers who wanted the car, which I took with a pinch of salt. So we closed the deal on my offer, which I was tempted to reduce even more, but don’t think that would have worked.
So now have a pre registered 43 which only had 164 miles on the clock and a good spec, LSD, reversing camera, blind spot detectors, lane control, nite pack,plus some other things I can’t think of at present and was surprised to be advised that car needed to be run in for the first 1000 miles, that was difficult to adhere to on the 225 mile drive home on a sunny afternoon, but I did.
Will have to check with dealership re the LSD oil change after reading a previous thread.
Find the car so much more stable and solid on the road than my old SLC200, which I only enjoyed for 3 months.
Think the 43 will be a keeper until I physically cannot get into it
