The M5 was available for £499+VAT in February. For someone on £80-100k a year, that's a drop in the ocean.
The NHS (business side of it) is a joke. It's rotten and corrupt to the core. Bungs, briberies.. the lot. Which other organisation would pay £40 for every light bulb that get's changed in their premisses? |

£80,000 is only £4100 take home through paye. Now, if your mortgage is £1500, food £600, gas and electricity £300, pension £1000 (40 years to earn half income and retire at 65) that doesn't exactly make £600 a month 'a drop in the ocean'. You still got to be into your cars to bung that sort of money out each month. |

Plus the depreciation on S Class Mercs are horrendous at the best of times, on a 600 it will be horrific.
Someone selling an S65 AMG on the Merc forum, 56 plate with 40k miles on it, new price was £160,000 and he is asking £35k for it. The S600 is far less desirable and will do its biscuit just as badly. That S65 AMG is some motor for £35k, 670bhp and 1100nm of torque!! |

Must eat rear tyres though with that much torque going through them! I think mercedes had to restrict them to that torque so it didn't kill the gearbox and unrestricted it actually produces much more than that!! |
