Have about seven grand to spend. Want a soft top. Narrowed it down to either a clk 320 auto convertible on about a 2000 reg. Or a Porsche boxster 2.5 manaul.

What you rekcon ? The merc will be more laid back more juicy but more refined.

The boxster is faster. Sounds better. More engaging to drive etc. I'm swaying towards the Porsche.

Any thorghts ?

Porsche.

A mate of mine is looking at the Merc. He's 62. Says it all really.

£7k for a Cockster, shudder to think what condition it would be in

The TVR in For Sale is £7.5K.

The V8 is going to sound far far better than anything crout

Scoff all you want about the plucky Dacia, Alain Prost is driving one in the Andros Trophy series.

Mmm, £7K porsche boxter could cost you £4K in repairs alone. At that mileage / age, crank seal issues are very possible and were huge money to fix. Not too keen on the merc either, quite old looking now.
