Still not cheap enough.

You'd need to be very brave considering the somewhat worrying surroundings, lack of MOT, and filthy interior, but it's the cheapest W12 I've seen by quite a long way

That plus the tone of the ad and the slightly ominous username of the seller... I wouldn't.

Selling for a mate who has no computer?!

This car is local to me, and a stunner, 1 lady owner. The local garage is selling and they are a bunch of rip off merchants so i hate to think what cut they will be taking.

I am tempted, but not really in the market for a 2 door. But for someone would be a really good buy!

Presumably the same mate with the digger:

Agreed, even at half the asking price you'd have to jump in accepting that you may end up having to break it.

A colleague who is an enthusiastic DIY-er has just returned my SL after replacing the exhaust. On discovering that the MB kit is over £1000, he decided to fabricate.

He tells me that what is now fitted came from old stock destined for a Citroen, a Peugeot 508, and a Granada 2.8i. He has cut and welded and fit and bolted to the original fitting points, and I now have a new exhaust.

Cost? 140 GBP. That's right, One hundred and forty pounds.

I love that man.

Blimey, worth his weight in gold. A crate of beer every time you pass I feel.

Hardest part about making your own exhausts is getting access, a lift is the minimum required I think!

As is changing oil, transmission and rear different oil. I have a hydraulic bench for my motorbikes and it makes every job 80% easier and a lot quicker.

Very nice indeed, especially the interior! I'd be tempted myself if I hadn't just acquired the w124. That' got be worth a look surely.

Thanks, really appreciate that

It's in Coleraine if that means anything to you?

Advert here - I haven't done anything about contacting the seller yet mind, still mulling it over as I'm not sure on the auto aspect
http://www.gumtree.com/p/mercedes-benz/1989-merced...

I like it too. The black leather looks good, and that's a modern-looking colour which really suits the car.

Always auto FTW, and a trip over the water to boot.

Nice. Think we've seen it before actually.

Bit of emerging rust on the front driver's wing, so assume both need attention. The nasty aerial would have to go, and those wheels deserve new bolts. Fresh air trees always put me off, but I'd ignore it if he left the sweets in the car.

Offer him 3.5, haggle a bit, find an acceptable level and away you go!

Not only emphatically not-a-new-car in every way, but that colour should make every £449-a-month 6+35 drear-o-matic 4-pot-4-exhaust oily Aggresso Oakley-Belmer shrink into their IKEA sofabed every time you arrive home.

Drive slowly. Rub it in.

We have seen it before - but it's very welcome here again. The market for it must be tiny, and it's been on sale a while so haggle hard!

That interior on the Phaeton needs a ruddy good clean!

E65 going in for MOT this coming week..... I'm being charged £20 for the fee..... I wonder what the overall bill will be! Last year was just the £20
