I think this is better looking than the new model.

Great value too.

I have one, albeit not an AMG and I totally agree, when I heard a new one was coming out, I was excited but it lost a lot of what made the original so distinctive, not a bad looking car per se but lost the purity of the design which I think looks great from any angle, although I never thought he headlights were perhaps its best feature.

With these, go for the latest you can get as the earlier ones had the daft SBC brakes and a few other niggles, that they sorted out towards then end of the run.

Merc and Audi both very nice but surely they are coupes rather than barges?!

[hornetrider]

Wow. Be driven like royalty for the price of a Focus.

Big coupes

Yes pushing the rules. Will only post proper barges now

The blue Audi looks stunning. The ad has been removed so does anyone know the price, spec etc?

It was £18995 and fairly loaded as I recall. I believe the paint job was noted as being expensive from new, as was the interior.

These are looking great value for a car that was around £90k new. I know it's a coupe, but it's a barge of a coupe!

Last example of the sort of cars that made BMW great? Decently powerful NASP I6 engine, manual gearbox, RWD. I'm tempted by that, knowing full well it'll be hell to shift on.

2 months later and it's still for sale. I watch several cars on Autotrader and either things are shifting slowly at the moment or I only like the cars nobody else wants...

Thanks. If I can find one like that next year when I change one of my cars then Audi will be on my list.

Far too expensive for an old audi.

Like it, shame it's poverty spec by the looks of things. No pro nav or bum warmers as far as I can see.

[Lowtimer]

I thought about that car myself and wouldnt be even slightly bothered about heated seats or quickly-outdated factory sat nav, but came to the conclusion I wouldn't really want an F10/11 on 18" runflats without adaptive suspension.

Good luck finding one - adaptive suspension seemed to be pretty much the rarest option on a Touring when I bought my 535i a couple of years ago. 18" is the smaller of the wheel sizes on the MSport versions, though, and there are plenty specced with the standard (not MSport) suspension if you're concerned about the ride.

[Lowtimer]

Yes, an SE would be far preferable.

Agreed.

And moreover, surely the remit of this thread is to catch the initial free-fall depreciation of reasonably new, large, wafty executive cars? For the performance orientated stuff, there is the //M/Barge/General thread (confusing title notwithstanding).

For the old, cheap, potentially wallet-raping stuff there is the £1-5k Barge thread etc.

Quite like that as a barge but £17k for a 7 year old Merc? Still falling like a stone I suspect...

Feel like a Harley street doctor for £16.5k.

No depreciation costs but running costs of the biblical variety.

I approve.
