2004 Mercedes C180K: Winter/ULEZ Beater of Distinction

Cut and run. Fancy a Cat N black Focus for pennies? Dog and Sinclair C5 friendly.

Springs and tyres are a pretty unavoidable spend of £££ you won't get back when you sell.

Time to move it on IMO.

£18.02 for each rear spring with the current eBay promo code. Doesn't look too bad to DIY either.

(Double check thats a correct one)

Tyres dunno the size but probably £80 each for something half decent. 

So probably rear sorted for about £200?

All depends to be worth it surely if you're still going to be using it as a main/backup car. It does have plus points for a London dweller like ULEZ compliance, an automatic and reasonably comfort.

yeah that all makes sense. I don't think the front control arms are too expensive either.  Its more if I want to drop any more money (and time) on a car I'd already been wondering about moving on

I think you've answered your own question there 🙃

Also I'm probably the worst person to respond as I would fix it up first, mostly as it would be something I'd like to do as a project.

well that's today's thoughts 

no doubt it will change tomorrow 😂   I'd usually just fix it up too but I have 6 others in the queue
