£8000!

Absolute nonsense. I doubt it'd get any interest at half that.

That looks like an old BMW with collapsed suspension. And no interior pics.

Resprayed white over all the black trim, chavved, tatty, separate keys for ign and door, 212k miles. Wrong wrong wrong

Its 'up to extreme standard' and he'll put a new MOT on it for another £50, over the £15k asking. Seems like a bargain.

The seller is flattering this classic in the pics and description - it may not be quite so immaculate close up

I sold a much nicer one for a third of the price of that this year!

'Also the seat belts do work, although something has happened as they get trapped. This happened after i got the car sprayed. Original colour before was beige. '

Ahhh, annoying when that happens. The seatbelts are obviously only compatible with beige paint.

Is that one for the Bad Parking thread or have the hotel just told him to move it out of sight?

A quick look says it lost a good 30,000 miles.

Not to mention for four years it had numerous tests with exactly the same mileage.
Even in photo's, that looks rough.

I think I'll give 'feeling the power of that 1987 engine' a miss...

You’re all a bunch of knobs thinking you’re all merc experts. Cars like these are going up because they’re rare! Might look st in pictures but you when you seen them on the road I reckon all of you low life keyboard warriors look at them then look on eBay to buy one and you wait prices will be going up higher every 10 years. So enjoy ranting for another 10 years lol

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say you may well own a white 300CE?

Hear that? That's the sound of your phone not ringing since nobody wants to pay £15k for your st car. Is the keyboard warrior the one agreeing with everyone else that a car is st, or the one signing up to an internet forum to call them all knobs and low-lifes?

I must be very out of touch sadly. I've had 11 Mercedes in my life and never thought of respraying one to up the value by a factor of 10. But thanks for letting me in the know. My current C204 estate is grey. What colour will bring the best price? I really must try harder next time.

Perhaps the Paul Smith Mini colour scheme might be your answer
