Lovely colour combo, but £8k for a 117,000 mile 325! Will be interested to see what it sells for.

This could have also went into the 'Badly Modified Cars' thread but I decided it would be better suited in here.

Fifteen fking grand for a leggy, crash damaged Porsche Cayenne with the world's worst bodykit teamed with an LPG conversion hacked into the boot, wky unknown brand tyres, and questionable electronics skillfully remedied by just unplugging them.

Seling cheap cos the wheels are the wrong offset? Aye reet mate.

Probably an accurate comma ommission:

"Great project, in all honesty it probably looks worse than it is in the photos."

70k miles '04 CLK 320 for £12k - I make that an £8k tax to look like a tit




Awful, awful ad as well

That's horrific, lots of torque though:

maximum torque of 800 Nm is available at 3500 rpm

Saw this in the flesh the other day, thought I was in the presence of greatness but looked pretty shonky from a distance.

If that's really 362bhp I'll eat my shoes.
Bet it's an E32 M112 with all of 214bhp.

E46 estates with less than 150k and boatloads of rot are like hens teeth. Still silly money though.

Along with the X5 comments I think people are being needlessly harsh on this Porsche. Death by fire should be enough.

Awesome. Those front wheel arch gaps are actually very similar to the ones on the tastefully toothpaste-green-interiored Proton Persona (yup) the seller is also trying to find a mug for.

I mean buyer.
