    What a perfect outcome after the disappointment
    of receiving a damaged rear door. I am thrilled for Chris on wanting to keep the Merc.
    On to the next one.

    Sounds like a proper happy ending there - Chris is going to love driving that. And what a bargain, and a kind seller of the tailgate - I've had the polar opposite experience in the past :(

    Rob, I remember you saying you worked (very briefly) for the Queen. Get your hands on a Veteran's Railcard and you can get 1/3 off your train fares. You can even add a nominated adult who can travel with you for the same discount.

    When I saw Chris’s reaction in the first video I knew that I’d little chance of getting it, Chris was standing beside it like a protective parent around his kids and I’ve never seen a grin like that on Chris before, happy driving Chris, have a good holiday guys great post

    Had one, a 2014 with the Om651 engine in 220 cdi spec. Took it from 30,000 miles to 140,000 miles. Great, great car. Other than regular oil and filters to engine and one gearbox service it was perfect.

    I wouldn't say no to that Merc, he's got himself a nice car that should last years and is a real upgrade on his old one.

    I really like the way you look so happy for Chris Rob when he gets to keep a nice car,you were the same when you found Chris that mower..you look happier than him.First time I’ve posted a comment. I love the channel and can’t wait for 5pm on Mon/Weds/Fri. I’m not in the motor trade I’m a cabbie up north in Blackpool.Keep up the good work.

    Thumbs are definitely up (as always!) I love the interaction between these boys and like many others apparently, the moment I saw that car in part one I thought “blimey Chris is going to love this one”. I think it’s just the sheer love and respect these boys have for each other and all their work-friends and colleagues that is so very heartening to see, and also why the contacts that they have in the trade are generally so helpful and supportive. Loyalty and above all, respect, is what the world could do with a big dose of right now. I’ve said this many times, but this channel is the cream.

  • @davidhughes1634

    I could see Chris had took a shine to this Merc estate when Rob turned up with it, nice that he's keeping the Merc convertible too. The perks of working in the motor trade is getting ones hands on potential keepers once they are repaired. 👍

    The tailgate seller displays the sort of ethics that I wish all did. Give him a bit more of a 'plug' - 'good guys' are worth telling others about. I really enjoy seeing the comradery that is displayed in these videos and the politeness that both of you display to each other (and even to those that deserve a 'kicking' -HA) - thanks for a lot of great viewing. Have a safe and nice day all. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.

    I'm really glad Chris is having this car it's lovely and clean. You were lucky with the rear window, as I imagine it could have really messed up the paint if it hadn't stayed in one peoce after it broke. At least if there's any security markings on the original glass, it will all match now. Great work with the bumper skin, it looks as good as new. Top work. 👍

    Don't throw the spare light in the trash.....it will make a cracking extra light for someone doing a bit of customising.
    Well done guys. Cheers, Bob
