a CL500 for £1500?

https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201...

the company A38 Motor Company don't appear to be that old or established & it is an awful lot of car for the money something doesn't seem right.

But £1500 and it only needs to run from June to Nov seems like good man maths...

A 19 year old complex Mercedes known for wallet wilting failures? It's also from a Mercedes era where quality was not a known word at the factory. £1500 is about right if you are really brave.

Seems priced about right to me, knocking on for 20 years old with quite high mileage and not a particuarly sought after model, i'd say the price is right on it. Looks a nice motor in the pictures

Nice but I'd rather buy this:

Haggle a bit & you'll be close to the £1500 as well as having a car that has a much smaller bork factor.
