Default New Beater

I've been going through lots of beaters over the past couple of years but mainly small cars. Recently its become very apparent that the bargains are in big cars....so I bought one

I've never been one for Merc's but "Head Office" has always loved them so I thought this would cushion the blow of buying a bigger car.

It feels like its been cut from granite - heavy and solid, but with a 2.4 V6 and an auto box its beautifully smooth. It has a kickdown switch under the throttle and when you push it, the old girl picks up her skirt and flies

Its got Aircon...and... a Sunroof - I love an electric glass sunroof, and they seem to be out of fashion at the moment.

Well I have it for wet days, winter nights and car parks at stations and airports so it'll be on home turf...and invisible too

Happy days

I've always fancied a CLK32 or C32 as a beater. I don't actually need a beater though.
