The SLK is a nice car and would not fall under the hair dresser category. The new SLK 550 must be amazing.
As you say Fretwanger I am extremely lucky even to have to choice but 60k is a lot of money and the repayments will be massive.
It’s a shame it’s so hard to get an honest answer from the airlines. Any I have contacted simply say come back when you’ve got your licences.
