Hi Stevemag, I had Morgans for 10 years, I also got fed up with the factories poor attitude to the problems I had with a new Plus 4, I sold it and bought a SLK, the SLK I changed last year to a pre reg SLC amg line, do I miss the Morgan....no..not a bit, the Morgan was blessed with a faulty/poorly programmed ECU and did not provide a good driving experience, I was not bothered about putting a smile on other peoples faces or waves from other motorists, it was a smile on my face I wanted and the poorly constructed Plus 4 did not do it, the SLC is amazing, as people have said on here, depreciation is higher but I want to enjoy the car not worry about what it is worth when and if I sell it. I enjoyed some of the time with the Morgans, but the last Plus 4 I bought was not properly developed and the factory were very unhelpful and even told lies regarding the ECU (they did a flash upgrade to cure problems, still found problems with that, when I contacted them again they said yes they were aware they had not cured all problems as promised and were working on another upgrade, all this took 1 year!!)
Two years of Merc ownership now and no regrets, especially seeing how much a new Plus 4 is with options, almost twice as much as the SLC.
As a carburettor and non ecu man modern cars are a mystery to me I'm at 7th hand end of the market ( my 86 Morgan has had 7 previous owners) -until I retired I'd never ever bought a new car and that was a suzuki swift Any replacement for the morgan will be 10yrs plus old at least it's just a weekend car. I'm not bothered about outright speed ( after all it's replacing the morgan ) I got my thrill of speed sorted in fast response police cars and my grade one since 1985. So I'm now joined the porsche forum and am looking to find a Boxster. ...... The end is nigh for the morgan
