Lynda the lass that sold us the megane who bought an A class now bought a merc 230 CLK Kompressor.

Anyway this amuses me as I always laugh at people being ripped off.

1 owner from new, X reg, over 100k miles, no major service history (3 kwik fit oil changes though!), bought from a dealer for £17,500! lol thats feckign crazy!

Anyway, she came round and showed it off etc the other day saying its fast. I asked my sister and she said it was quicker than the laguna but not the 19. I wasn't sure, I thought 2.3 litres with a supercharge may beat the humble 80quid beast.

But its quite pathetic

Max power (bhp/rpm)
190/5300
Max torque (lb ft/rpm) 207/2500

Thats from a 2.3 litre 4valve per cyl supercharged engine.

Manufacturer's figures
0-60mph (sec)
8.4
Max speed (mph)
145

Its slower as well! lol The 19 absolutely humps it in every way! She also got the manual version, its not a car for manual boxes and merc manuals are not as good as their autos.

Its pretty pimp inside but I don't like the outside, got a few toys though

Anyway took a few pics, none of the exterior though but its lilac

lol neds!

Anyway, the whole thing is she said to me, my cars now faster than yours and its just not! She wasn't happy.

She paid nearly 219 times more for that than I did for my 19 and its quicker and has electric heated mirrors, leccy windows etc just like hers does, I don't have leccy seats but big deal!

Lyndas one of these buggers that steps in shite and 2 steps later gets a winning lotto ticket.
