Now where should I put my 90k?

Nah, not for me mate. Needs a leaper, a transmission tunnel holster and some additional chrome trim.

Extras like that will push the price up a bit, call it 95k pal

Only fair ... that sort of genuine style doesn't come cheap.

It seems that if I can flavour the language to a sufficient level of pretentious, cringeworthy bkiness, when I come to sell our battered, 163000 mile 2003 XC90 in a few months, I can get about £120,000 for it.

[webstercivet]

Better start investigating the koncessionsinnehavare's address...

[ian316]

Well I was thinking about taking the 300d down to the local car wash for a valet, and then just let the pictures do the talking and hold out for offers over £250000 I'd take offers of around £235000 from a threadist obviously

Drove past a Gerald on the M1 today.
S type cruising in the middle lane at 70mph, regardless of the empty inside lane.
Then there was a chrome fish and R badge on the back end, a hat on the parcel shelf, leapers on the wings, just in front of the front doors and obviously full leaper on the bonnet.
The very black and tight looking driving gloves looked a little out of place though, so I'm not sure where Mrs Gerald was.....

I love spotting them on the motorways, I can never make my mind up which is funnier Jags with old men or a 300c with the "Bentley grill" and stick on plastic chrome

Does it have historical provenance?

Why wash it? No-one else does!

[TyrannosauRoss Lex]

On the subject of all of this price talk.... If someone fancies an LS460 for the bargain sum of even just £10k it's yours. That's 1/9 the price of that old Merc. Bargain!

[CharlesdeGaulle]

Well if we're touting thread bargains, I'd let my LS430 go for a quarter of a million quid.

I'm generous and big-hearted like that. Plus, for true thread provenance, I haven't washed it since May 2019.

Well historical I've owned it and its got half ball joint service history since Sunday

[Emeye]

Worth considering when taking a suitcase of £90k in used fivers to pick up your ex-lambo dealership/ex-Beirut Mercedes taxi - it could end up in a mugging: http://www.mossleycorrespondent.co.uk/?p=8324

Saying that it appears the five-Os may have since taken down this gang of scum balls.

[ALawson]

I bet this old merc sells for more than the Brabus.

That's lovely, as is that SLK32 he's got on there too.

P.s. I'll let my unique E46 go for a mere £50k, provenance is assured by the multitude of warning lights, wafer of clutch left, and the "unrestored and original" rear suspension.

[ALawson]

The S500 will also be a lovely solid old thing,

[PGNSagaris]

Glorious. And a V8. And under thread max.
