Lovely, always had a soft spot for these but never pulled the trigger on one.

What sort of money are they fetching nowadays?

2012-2018 anywhere between 10-21k depending on mileage and what "edition" it is.
There is:
Standard(previously had)
TRD edition(which is what I have now)
Primo edition
Giallo edition
Aero edition
Modified ones also fetch around that price bracket too.

The current shape currently go for 21k+ in the current market.

Being delivered to my workplace on Tuesday

1 owner
15000 miles and in excellent condition.
Model just before the facelift, so a bit quicker.
20 inch wheel upgrade.
Carbon fibre mirror upgrade.

It’ll be a nice change from my AMG where various things have stopped working and getting the power down is a nightmare. I’m in love

I’m going to try to resist for the time being, but who knows down the line. My AMG certainly ended up pretty modded by the end.

Salon not open on monday then?

Just kidding, someone had to. Always liked the MK3 TT and the engine in these is sweet!

@Gibbo Were you in Dorset today? Saw a `78 Pace Car today, coming the other way so didn't get a chance for a good enough look

Yup!

Lovely. Are you trading the AMG or selling it privately? How does the current market affect the cost to change?

Trading it in. Got a decent price on the AMG quite close to what I wanted, especially considering it needs some work doing.

They told me they had quite a few cars in the garage that they have taken off the market while they workout the new values given the rapid increases. This included the Porsche 718 that my wife seemed to want to buy.

I cannot believe hairdressing is still so lucrative during the pandemic.

Your flowing locks will look lovely in that.

Am I doing it right?

At least you all went down the hairdresser rather than recession white route

The problem is that my wife does now actually want to drive it :eek:

It’s just a shame the shine lasts about 2 seconds this time of year. Looks like a more forgiving colour at least. These have aged well.
