Is this really worth £175k

[sjn2004]

Brabus Rocket (modified MB CLS), 17k miles, 3 years old. Yours for only £175,000! Would 75K still be too much to pay?

Too much

[Fun Bus]

It's still for sale?! Has been for a while and I think it started life at £195k (could be mistaken).
Either way it's a massive amount of money but, a very, very rare car.

A normal CLS500 would be about £20K at that age/mileage at best.....would this conversion add £155K to the equation? I think there is a decimal place mismatch there - maybe £17,500?

You can get a CLS63 for £30k of a similar age. Is this modified CLS worth 5-6 CLS63's? Its not exactly a rare car but a common car with some engine mods.

Fastest saloon in the world I beleive, nice door lock pins too!

The useless dealer selling it doesn't even know what engine it's got - wouldn't inspire me to shell out that kind of money.

That's quite worrying seeing as it's Mercedes-Benz in Brooklands selling it.

[balls-out]

yes, but it does have "Heated Washer Jets" according to the advert. That would certainly swing my vote if I had 170 odd £K.

[dudleybloke]

how much was it when new?

Greenoaks of Ascot ,or can i not read ?

[Fun Bus]

My mistake. I'm sure MB Brooklands had it for a time hence my comment.

The new price was around £285k.

50k tops imo!

A £10 roll of Fablon & a Sat afternoon on the street = Job done

I stand by my 50k plucked from thin air. Imagine how much Brabus will charge to repair that engine! Oooh, that'll be £150k please sir.

Jog on.
