That looks worse than the one I bought from Glasgow and sold to a Gypo for a handfull of magic beans. AVOID.

Still tickles me!

Who bought it?

Another one sold in under 24hrs. A white Celsior on air suspension posted on Ebay on Sunday went the same night too. A trend?

Maybe Derin should have left the Z4 in the showroom and invested in twenty LS's instead

How about a nice blue E31? I need to move mine along quite soon.

I forget which one the E31 is; any chance you could post a photo if it please?

I really like them

I do know really. And I like them too. Which is why I was hoping for a picture of the actual car that may, or may not, soon be for sale. But, obvs, none of us want to breach any rules!

My next door neighbour has a silver one. The bd.

This is all I've got at the moment, taken back in the summer. 115k, and a lot of work done in my ownership. Was a Cat C in the distant past. On account of that and a few cosmetic issues I'll probably be asking top thread budget (which would make it one of the cheapest around, and it's far from one of the worst).

Looks rather nice. Do you know what it was Cat.C for? Bet it doesn't take much to give them that, I seem to remember reading the front bumpers were like pixie dust.

It was indeed a front-ender, or so I assume: the bumper isn't original (has little flaps for washer jets that my car isn't fitted with, and has been poorly resprayed - the most pressing cosmetic issue).

Not that I'm suggesting anyone ought to buy it, but a derv D2 with power cloth is charmingly Euro.

Nice looking Lex400

http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/lexus-ls400-/252783011991

Even has a happy MoT history.

Aside from last mileage discrepancy (lower than last one)

Gold badges. Good or bad?

Awful. But easily changed. Nice to see one with black instead of grey leather.

Gold badges were an option along with deletion. My old GS had it. Looked nice on a black car

Anyone want a 528i?

And yet it's the first '124 I've seen post-ownership that's tempting me back.

Pure, undiluted, crisp and fresh Merc-yness. :lick

I'm all over the 4 pot. Very smooth, decent economy for long trips yo Europe and none of the "rev the bks off it" nature of the 300s.


Given the reception from you lot, it may hang around and I can swoop in with an insulting offer.

a nice set of correct alloys would have been nice

I'm not sure that assuming we in any way represent the general view is a safe assumption!

This isn't really a barge, and isn't really the 'best of' anything, but the seller has been stalking me ever since I first asked for more detail after posting (here) one of those one-picture/one-sentence rubbish ads that feature from time to time.

I want an SLC, and I want it to have velour, but I don't think I want this. If someone fancied sorting it all out and then selling to me at a loss I'm all ears, otherwise I offer it for your delectation.

I'm no softie, but some of the pictures (look at them all, I dare you) terrify me. Anyone fancy a challenge?
