That S-Type R is quite cool and at that money could be worth a punt
Even with all those problems listed? It sounds pretty fked to me
As always with these things I think the floor is the price of parts. Surely just the wheels are worth a few hundred quid. Once you start adding up other bits and pieces you quickly get to 2000. Perhaps if you have one already you could buy this for spares. I bought a diesel s type many years ago and it all felt very tired when I bought it at 140k from Cars With No Reserve.

Welding in new cats is no biggie, yeah the gearbox issue could be interesting but I get a vibe from the description that the seller is being pretty honest and it's indeed electrical not mechanical so may not be the end of the world.

It's £2k advertised, if you can get a couple hundred off then it could be a little gem, and as said the breaking value is almost certainly more than what you'd pay for it.

It's the Tiptronic that would rule it out for me, I don't mind miles.

is that not the 911 that sold at auction for £25k odd and then went up for £35k. If so this has been for sale for sometime.

Bound to have been a few epic journeys in that thing.

Probably a few ‘have you just been teleported?’ questions too about almost being in 2 places with impossible times in between situations.

“Ok, I’ll be in your office (that is 400 miles away) in 3 hours - it has better be finished by then”

Whilst not quite at those miles yet, I've got a daily driven S6 that i'm aiming to hit 250,000 miles in during my career.

I expect an S63 AMG is a fine way to complete that volumes of miles in though.

Didn't realise you could get heated, cooled and massage seats in a Lexus in 2003, very cool
