Sometimes you can't help but look at your car once you have washed it! Post your pics..

List price of mine was well north of £40k (infact it was nearly £50k when new) so yeah, £450 a year to tax. All the E Class coupes are over £40k new I believe.

MPG wise I usually get high 40s to low 50s though I have seen upto mid 60s!

That's actually excellent mpg. The inside looks like a lovely place to be as well. Must get a test drive and take it from there. Are they an 8 speed box? Tax is the only downside to them from what I can see so far.

They're a 9 speed Auto. If your just crusing it rarely goes above 2,000 RPM and I've only ever seen it go into 9th once when on the motorway, it seems to be the equivalent of an old overdrive gear.

It really is a great place to be. They are only a 4 seater though you can get actual adults in the back seats as there's plenty of room in there.

Love it @j44nty I still hanker after a do-it-all 4x4 for running about in. Only style of car I’ve not owned in life.

One bucket method, mr muscle wheels, and whatever was in the bottom of a bottle of Meguiars to make it shiny. I did use a new microfibre cloth though lol.

Ha! It’s not perfect, could probably do with the bonnet painting and a few chips and scratches here and there but it’s 4 years old. Can’t take any real credit for the glossy finish, that was the boys at PMG
Needs a light buff and a top up of the Gtechniq EXO as Audi washed it and there’s some wash marring which was visible today in the sun when I was washing it. To be fair you really need to be looking for the bad bits and from 6 feet away it looks mint. I sometimes wish I wasn’t so fussy

 

[andy9eleven]

@Deezer-D Yeah I gave up being fussy when it comes to daily drivers. Life's too short and it seems odd when the car is cleaner than my house

Washed.
Iron and tar removed.
Washed again lol.
Spray on the Megs when wet and dry off (no rinse)
Then spray Megs on again, rinse and dry.
We will see how it fairs!

Good man - bores the pants off me when people start describing the 2 bucket method! Great looking car

My good and heavily pregnant wife managed everything for an hour while I gave the workhorse a lap. Love this car. Also I am a total anachem convert / whore now.

This takes me back.

My dad had the exact same one (albeit grey and never this clean) and the hydraulic suspension when you are 12 years old was awesome.....
