Hi folks

Want to see what peoples opinion is on buying another car or spending on the Zs?

Mg ZS 180, 12 years old with 62000

Car needs, all values are estimates

New timing belts and water pump etc £500 to £700
discs and pads all round £200
oil vapor catch tank supply and fit £120
little bit of welding and tidying up rust underneath £100
new wipers £10
full service £140

Total £1200 ish

if I done all the previous, I would then want

stainless steel decat custom £500
paint and lacquer fixed £100 to £400.

Also I'am sick of trying to explain to birds in a nightclub what an Mg Zs 180 lol. I'am looking at 10year old Mercedes Clk's with maybe 120K on the clock, (thoughts on these cars?). I know their old cars with high mileage and not worth much more than what i have now , however girls don't. They just know that you drive a Merc haha.

Please note that the girls part is not the main reason and just a bit of fun. Women should be attracted to you and not the car, although the car is part of what is you.

Thoughts?
