Congrats. Love the current generation C Class Coupe. Such a well proportioned car and well done for getting it with colour! Wheels go with the colour really nicely too. What's the spec? Engine?

And it better stay that way.... although it seems to be going up the older I get, which definitely isn't the story I was told before lol!!!!

Mine has steadily increased these past 2 years which is ridiculous as I'm getting older and still have 0 accidents / convictions etc. They even tried to sting me for £200 for changing my car to one that was identical :rolleyes:

Wow, good for you!

Was that via a grad scheme, as having that money when you're 20 is remarkable if you went to university

Thanks

! It was via a School Leavers Programme. the banks Apprenticeship scheme, first time they'd done it. Worked a charm financially...

@geekman I hope that aint the case for me otherwise I'm going to have to throw some hands at insurance lololol

Indeed

Very happy with it. Does have quite few extra options include, premium plus package which gives you the panoramic roof, bigger navigation screen, burmester sound system, the memory seats and few other options

It also has "intelligent head light system" - not sure how it works exactly though. Wheels are 19"

Mercs are looking awesome these days.

Excellent. Sounds like a nice spec. How are you finding the engine?

It has been great, very quick and responsive, especially when put on sport/sport + mode.

I had E-class coupe 2L diesel and changing to petrol you do notice difference, def less economical though

I would love a C63 engine, maybe someday

Merc have got their styling spot on. 'Bout time as well!

Clarkey · 19 Sep 2017 at 21:39

Nah, the previous generation were far better looking. New ones are all rounded and fat looking, and the unbroken curve from the roof to the back looks like a dog doing a no.2 squat.

Seems like apprentice wages are tons better then when I was younger.

Well played. They are holding value nicely so it's a win win.

What's the name of that blue paint? Looks great.

Recently ordered an E-Class estate in cavansite blue and hoping it looks as good as this! Also went for premium plus spec with a few other bits like driving assistance package and screens etc.

Brilliant Blue

Weren't you driving a brand new Audi a1 ? Fair enough it's not a Mustang but still.

His was rented.

Being an audi they are probably the same price

Hehe, it's just coined an apprenticeship scheme, i was a good few multipliers on the apprentice min wage

. All relative, it was "only" £31k.

Martynt74 · 21 Sep 2017 at 15:50

In that case it's very impressive to be able to put your annual salary down in cash after only about 4 years. Well done.

Unless it ramped up quickly after the first year.

Jumper118 · 21 Sep 2017 at 15:52

Min apprenticeship wage is awful it's like £2.8 an hours or something

Ant84 · 21 Sep 2017 at 16:19

Just picked her up yesterday. Bodywork, interior and wheels all in great shape. Engine runs spot on but I'm going to carry out plenty of preventative maintenance, probably the belts, rollers, oil seals and water pump initially.

Might create its own thread at some point if anyone's interested.
