The sub £1k Merc S500
Discussion
Well, I've just completed an 80 mile trip in in and nothing has broken or fallen off! 
For a 2 tonne plus car it's pretty quick, it doesn't feel it but the speedo spins round nicely. It feels like I'll never stop finding gadgets that it has!
It's range computer which I assume is based on its lifetime average works out at just over 22mpg which isn't the end of the world by any means.
The offers have been piling in for it already so I feel I've done ok with it.
It does have air suspension that works perfectly, stiffens up and moves the car up and down no problem.
It's actually a very handsome car especially at night.

Shocking amount of car for money!!!
Really is. Verging on the obscene! What would the 1st owner have paid? I bet your average non petrol head would guess the price would include a zero at the end.This thread feels very deja-vu, wasn't there an S-Class thread before, the owner fixed the sill rust under the drivers door with a dab of hammerite.
I'm sure you won't be short of interest for it when you get rid OP.
If you haven't had any messages about it already (I did try to PM but didn't notice the button for it, so assume you've got them disabled) then I'd like to stick my name in the hat for next owner! Would be a great car to drive down to Le Mans for in June!

PM's should be working, I've had plenty! If you haven't had any messages about it already (I did try to PM but didn't notice the button for it, so assume you've got them disabled) then I'd like to stick my name in the hat for next owner! Would be a great car to drive down to Le Mans for in June!
I've still not decided what to do with it yet as there has been a fair few offers but if I decide to keep it and have another car available I'm more than happy to let you have it for a few weeks to take to Le Mans if that is all you wanted it for.

What would the first owner have lost in depreciation in the first year of ownership. Probably enough to buy a decent hatchback new nowadays.

No hammerite here thankfully This thread feels very deja-vu, wasn't there an S-Class thread before, the owner fixed the sill rust under the drivers door with a dab of hammerite.
No rust either that I can see, jacking points and everything look great if not a bit dirty. A lot easier to clean than weld though for sure!
