Prefer the standard wheel colour, but even so, this is the best new car thread in ages!
The amount of tech on it would scare me for fear of it going wrong, but as long as it still drives, it doesn't matter too much.
What sort of price you looking at for the st?

I was so close to buying one of those but I want something a bit more up to date so saving some more for an e55. They did do that version without a supercharger. Yours is an S55K

Nice choice - I looked at the V8 but went for the Cl V12 instead. Just for info my ABC pump was playing up and a replacement was £1600 without fitting! (fortunately mine started working again!)
Here's mine:

Sam you have the coolest taste in cars.
That's pretty much the spec I want. I want the boring 5spoke AMG wheels tho.

Oh and Chris, I'd recommend getting an aftermarket warranty if you can!

Preferred the original wheel colour it breaks up the car better . Bet it's comfortable to drive but I wouldn't be able to cope with the fuel bills . Can you get a gas conversion on it ? Did he own car from new ?

Nice Merc. I'm currently saving for an SL. I really want a 55 amg but will probably just get a 500. All the other models seem to be really cheap and proper bargains but the SLs hold their money  Im just not ready for a massive 4 door saloon like that lol.
Thanks

Can you get warranty covers for cars over 10 years old? Mercs can get so expensive when they break
Cant seem to find one, although ive not looked much

Not sure £3kish at a guess as it needs new tyres. Anyless than that and i'd probably just split it!

I have a flat to finish rebuilding and a little one due in November, so no money will be spent on the car unless it needs it! Spent £500 on a pram yesterday!

I do around 2k miles in a car a year now, so not to worried! Have a 125cc scooter that gets me to work and back. No, he bought it in 2007 when it was 4 years old at 37k miles.
Also, the ST did around 18mpg. Im expecting this to do around 15mpg ish. So not the end of the world + It wont do many miles anyway!

I saw a c63 today in Eastbourne, he wasn't hanging about near the town centre, they sound great.
Mate of mine has got a clk55 amg and it sounds immense.

When the site stops becoming corsacliom3sport and becomes mercsport with gas guzzlers, let it be known I started this off. As I did with the jay willy thread. I win at internet

Yup! 
This has tyre pressure monitoring valves which = hardly any valve sticking out of the alloy so I'm still waiting on an extender to turn up.
Only driven it home so far!
