Phil, is this a toy and what is the merc used for at the moment? It's seems like your trying to buy a car that you already have.

...the merc is everyday car, your right the reason its so hard to decide is because i already have what is required:

Awesome looking
Droptop
Massive power
8pot brakes
Split rims
Bose sound system
2pac number plate

....think i will be best to put the merc in the garage and get a cheap m3 e46 and keep the kaliber and have 15k plus in a high interest account!

...i think you maybe right

Chip i am selling it but not for one penny less than 10k been offered a firm 9.5k but computer says NO....what i might do is put it back to how i bought it and this will free up 2k and then bung it down my parents undercover and forget about it, its only ever gonna go up or atleast hold a reasonable value as they get rarer

..ps you change your pants far more often than me

Well this might be a silly suggestion but if it will just be a toy why not a V8 muscle car?

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1525763.htm

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1393318.htm

4.6 V8 Roush Supercharged!! You could even get a Shelby for that price! But definitely get a Roush supercharged one within budget easy. Since you are only wanting it to be a toy can't see why it wouldn't work, bet it would get 1000s more looks than a 355 or 360.

Even look at Corvettes, Challangers, Camaros if you wanted etc.

Right:

1. I'd have the Bentley and sell the Merc. That way you have a proper daily driver, some toys in the garage and money in the bank.
The Mercs AMG's are good cars but the SL is for men with chestwigs and dumb drugdealers.

2. I'd have the Porsche over the 360 because the F430 spider I had for the day was good fun...for about half the day and afterwards just got on my nerves.

3. M5 V10 is another good option as that's a proper daily driver, store the Merc for those sunny day's.

4. Stop moaning and just go and drive a couple of cars and see how you get on!

Over 550 lbft as standard on the V10 Diesel Phaeton, and you could easily up that by a couple of hundred with a remap.

Would love a go in one sometime, really awesome cars I reckon but Ive never had the chance to try one out
