I'm seriously worried about booking a test drive in an A45 because I rather suspect that I'm going to want one....!

Pretty sure that I'm going to sell the C63 in the next couple of months (keep changing my mind on start up though!), and feel like testing out an A45, I'm fairly sure it won't work for me, but it looks like a blast, and I want a go!

I know a few are thinking about/have changed from a C63, so thoughts?

I've looked over the used prices on Autotrader, and I'm basically seeing people selling them for the almost new price, which is already way over priced. Of the 6 on autotrader, the cheapest is by Mercedes, which is already saying something!

ps. whats a 10 plate decent spec C63 worth? the price range out there is crazy!

Pretty much why I'm shifting mine!

Any deals at all on the A45?

just found out (via mbclub) that drivethedeal are discounting the A45 by 8.5%, just specced one up, and yup, £3297 off. Think I'll mooch on over to a dealer today and have a poke around.

I think after careful reflection I'm not going to carry on with the A45... Not helped by the lemons of dealers, who told me they'd have a car available for me to drive, then when I got there the next day, the guy I spoke to wasn't there, and nor was there a drivable car...

I have to replace the "family" A3 with another hatchback, and if I got the A45 as the fun car, it would be 2 hatchbacks...

Either the C63 gets replaced with something like a 911, Lotus, or something big and wafty
