Hello my imaginary friends.

I spotted this ad on the front page, and it stood out after the PH etymology police got all worked up over the Mercedes shooting brake/break yesterday.

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1626947.htm

Text reads:

mecedes cl 63 amg (REDEUCED) (2007)

2007 (57) plate mercedes benz ex demo I have had this car for 18mnths.

Black with black interior full amg spec with nothing you dont need missing.
unbeliveble performance those who dont no these cars they are naturally asperated giving instance performance with no flat spots a true track day car or a mere cruise to the office incredably easy to drive and not as thursty as you might think !
The number plate is not included in the sale and will return to its former registration number.
full mercedes service history service done by mercedes world at brooklands.
Full dealer facilities and finance availible. This is a private sale.




Two questions:
1. Is the UK economy now so good that 12 year olds are buying Mercs?
2. Does "full amg spec with nothing you dont need missing" mean that it has all of the accoutrements that a person doesn't need?

Just wondering...

I was wondering about how a private seller could offer full dealer facilities and financing.

Why would you write the ad for an 80 grand car in such a scensoredt manner.
Really makes me want to pick up the phone and view it.

Memories of the last big Merc that had a dodgy advert come to mind...

Ah, was that the one written by a 12 year old selling it on behalf of his brother?
I would have bought that one, 'cause his brother was a "businessman", so every confidence there then!

Dealer facilities - he has seats, a desk, and a water cooler in his house. Finance - he can put you in touch with some loan sharks.
