The deal on EQC 400 AMG line’s are amazing. Rubbish range for such a big battery but as a second car, cracking.

Mine arrived last week. Nice place to sit, pretty quiet, comfortable enough ride.

Range not great, but not much of an issue as we'll rarely use it for long journeys.

God is it boring to drive though - very much like a computer game. I get why there is so much bad driving on the roads now, you're so insulated from 'driving' and it's so mindless doing so.

My wife likes it which is the main thing!

Thank you for posting this. I managed to secure a van today.

The original van I was quoted on had no options but was actually sold over the weekend. The broker then found another van with options but it had more discount so was barely any more expensive than my 1st quote. The only issue is lead time, I have to wait till June, which happens to work for me.

Thanks again, loads of metal for the price.

Wavering back and forth over one of these, would need to pay the extra as my wife doesn’t like the red, current lease ends in July. It’s really maxing our budget but may be the only time we could afford a half decent Merc at this price.

Carparisons site is now saying approved used, was yours new pre-reg?

Would you mind posting the quote you got and the spec? The quotes for the Factory ones for Del in June were almost double for me. Be interested to see if there was any a lot less still, I'm still hopeful some more lower spec ones will turn up as they are still advertising them on their website.

I got 6 + 23 x 334 for one with around 3K options and 6 + 23 x 380 for one with more camping options like heating, tow bar, etc, but none of them materialised. First one had more useful options for driving like LED lights which are around £1500. Both had reversing cameras and parking sensors (that's £924 for two).

Interesting and not bad prices, I got quoted £279.01 on a 3+23 6K miles for an Ascot Grey with only an alloy upgrade and privacy glass which would have been perfect for me but was gone as soon as I got quoted for it.

Campers are real deal, mix of options on them. I'm on a phone. VWFS founded. All have rearview cameras.

11 cars total, 5 manufactured, one in UK port, some accepted for production with build week.

I'm waiting for official quote now for particular car with some minimal options: led lights,
heated seats, etc.
They received 19 enquiries over the weekend.

There's quite a few on Drive The Deal special offers available on PCP which the wise amongst us would compare directly with leasing.

[PenelopaPitstop]

All of them are Ocean model, which is much more expensive and PCP will require huge deposit and whole amount will go on credit record.

Maybe good option for someone who wanted to buy and keep long term. I'm just opportunist, chasing good deal.

In stock EQC, cheapest I’ve seen at the mo if you’re after one.
They will be pre reg and I assume small amount of
Mileage on some. However….

3/23 10k @ £449 inc.

Even factoring their large broker fee, still cheaper than others I think.

Yep - had something like 150mi on the clock (and on a 73 plate), but feels brand new (as you would expect). I think it's good value for what it is.

Not sure - I followed the link to Special Offers / In Stock and there's two options. The first one is the older model, the second is the newer model. LINK

Me too. Was good at point of advert, but quickly became very average. Shame.

there's about 4 left if people are interested.

I called up but decided against proceeding after hearing about the fees and then the push for a bigger deposit.

Admin: £600
Deliver and some other thing fee: £250

Plus when we were talking I wanted to do 1+23 and he was saying they are likely to reject it unless I go for a 3+23 which instantly annoyed me so I've left it.

£850 in fees is a piss take when they are getting a kick back from the funder.

Yeah, I even asked for it all in writing over email before doing the credit check, and they flat out said no basically saying it wasn't worth it based on how quickly they were flying out and were quick to get me off the phone which rubbed me the wrong way too.

I guess they thought I wasnt serious but I just wanted to make the best financial decision so I thought about it and called back and that's when they pushed toward doing a 3+ deal so I left it.


feels like more and more deals are starting to appear and I'm in no rush, maybe the Model Y will drop more given the prices are dropping everywhere or something...

Just popped into a MB dealer to have a quick look at one. Unfortunately the boot is far too shallow for my dogs.
