Not where to begin ... But as it's a motor trader I'd like to think .. Where it did begin

Covid hassle free car sales,

Motor Trader ... "Why yes we do take part exchange"
Customer ... "I have a G55 Mercedes"
Motor Trader ... (thinks .. Kerching .. )
Motor Trader ... Yes of course a G55 Mercedes will be acceptable for PX
Customer ... "Can you collect the PX as your delivery truck deliver my new car"

Next day
Motor Trader ... WTF hehe

This place is actually very local to me and stores some very unique car. Always worth a look through the website every couple months just to see what crazy stuff they have. Some great ones I have seen is the batman car, a big suv with a dragon on it.

They certainly have some curiosities there!

Prices are a bit steep mind.
I’m quite taken by this little thing, not sure I’d be up for spending £15k on it. I might take a punt for £1,500.

" Its a typical one off"

At least the seller has some self-awareness. Judging by many of the creations posted here that are described in their adverts as 'one offs', I think he's spot on.

That S7 is really bad.
Is it though? Not a fan of the blacked out look or subs, but the rest looks pretty OEM and running good power...
It's not that bad apart from the speakers in the boot and the plate, which tell me the owner potentially has not mainted the car as well as it could have been. 650hp on the S7 dual clutch box would worry me long term as well.
Aside from boasting about pops and bangs, which is the modern day calling card of all complete bell ends, the picture of the instrument panel, taken whilst driving and with no seat belt on, sums it up quite nicely.

G-wagons are always overpriced by about double, it seems to be the law.

So, ignoring the ridiculous price, I reckon if you had a less fussy front bumper with just a normal amount of lights, got rid of the nasty wood inside so it all looked more consistent, that'd be ok. It would still be a relatively slow, thirsty, expensive thing that will never get used for the one thing it's good at, but if nothing else you're driving the same car as Kerry Katona (more current celebrity references are probably available).

I’m sure they’ve had this horror on sale for over a year.

Can’t think why.

They need to throw in the little motorbike. It's a package.

Didn’t they use Madness in the adverts to sell this singing “In the City”?

That actually makes me really sad - what a horrible end for what was a nice looking car. The sales spiel that goes with it is truly delusional too, not to mention the £3.5k start price - don't people realise that when you've buggered up a car that badly it's essentially worthless.

A mate of mine is a used car dealer but targets himself as a more up-market place, yet for some reason he has some utterly awful metallic dogst coloured 21 year old Saxo in stock completely barried to fk, with the interior to match (the usual "throw the ripspeed catalogue at it sort of thing). The thing is utterly worthless because of these mods, and he really shouldn't have it on his forecourt - it brings the place down. He was asking £3.5k for it.

“With a bit of thought and a few changes it could pass for a real Ferrari”
Only in the same way that with a bit of thought and a few changes my shed could pass for York Minster.

The exterior’s bad enough. Then you see the interior yikes

The ad is comedy gold too - “These type of replica's are becoming very hard to find” and “You deserve a treat don't wait as you will not see another of these that you can drive away laugh

I'm sitting here on my own in my home office and I actually laughed out loud when I saw the interior photo. Absolute car crash of nonsense.
