Thank you all for the birthday wishes! Life gets in the way meaning I don’t visit this forum as much as I’d like to. Over 17 years have passed since I first joined this forum and even though all that time has passed, I still have a 500E in the garage :) Thank you all for your contributions...

I don't have more info Entire collection now sold, his garage is empty now Lost interest I guess

Thank you all - very helpful responses. I'm just negotiating a deal with the seller now...car will be garaged both home and at work. Here is the inspection video I had commissioned earlier this week if anyone is interested in the check up

Hello all, I am considering replacing my 08' W204 C63 with an 06' R230 SL55. I have found a car and about the push the button [car checks out very well and is a Kleemann K4] - I am hoping to daily drive the car to and from work (only a few miles) and the occasional few days of non-use. I am...

Thanks all! I certainly don't use this forum as much as I should but always enjoy it when I do :)

This one seems to be a good pick, most of the C43's on the market now are in pretty rough condition. Shame they fell by the wasteside a few years back when prices dipped significantly. https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1344074

Cheers all!

Echo comments here, some good cars from Japan but of course some junk also so you have to be careful. My W124 E500 Limited is from Japan, you can see the underside video here to give you an idea of how well kept the cars are:

I run a Japan imported 2008 C63 AMG in Dubai, I bought it about a year ago. On the whole the car has actually been perfect *touches wood*. It is a true Japan delivery car (some are originally German delivered) and to get around the audio issue I simply use a bluetooth plug in device as the...

Very nice car. Those AMG E60 badges are aftermarket and can be purchased from Auto Fashion in Tokyo. It is a bog standard E500 LTD (if you can call them that!).

Looks like a very nice car, also commonly known as the AMG E60, would love to own one but couldn't jusify the premium over my E500.

Hey all, reviving this thread as I still have the W210 E55 AMG posted here and its a daily driver going strong!!! I have owned it since Oct 2016 and to be fair it has been faultess. I was recent considering changing it for a W211 E55 or a CLS55/63 but I think these W210 E55s will eventually...

I think £20k still makes sense as a realistic value if it's in mint condition. E500/500E are struggling at £20k at the minute and I wouldn't class the E36 AMG as any more desirable...perhaps less but I know they are rarer

Hey all I was looking for some advice. I have come across what seems to be a genuine S600L W140 (1996) which has been tuned by AMG at some point and is now a 7.0L - guess that makes it an S70 AMG, in the back streets of Dubai. I am not sure if this is a factory or post factory conversion but I...

Hello all, I have been informed of an SL320 1997 for sale with 12,000 genuine miles. It is and apparently like new and in silver with black leather. Left hand drive. Can anyone chime in on the common issues or pitfalls with this model? I've always loved the R129 but never seriously looked...

Great project! I hope you didn't pay much for it however as it certainly seems neglected and will be a labour of love - I am certain the economics will outweigh the value but at the end you'll have an amazing machine, especially after all the paintwork etc. Interior seems to be the full black...

MOT history is pretty grim reading and the photos show it is quite a neglected car. Not sure it would be worth £15k even if tidied.

Unfortunately there is no warranty with the compressor. It seems only rhe Chinese brands here in Dubai carry a 6 month warranty! I am wondering whether anyone has actually experienced issues with the pipe itself. I have been told it is around £300 for the part itself so I do not want to...

Hello all - I was wondering whether there are any members familiar with the M113 5.4L? I am having two issues: 1) Air conditioning is making a groaning noise when switched on - AC compressor was replaced 3 months ago (DENSO part) and has been quite since but for the last week it is very...

Hello all I would like to get a spare key as I only have one for the e55. What is the best way of doing this without going to the main dealer. As the car is from Japan the dealers in Dubai are reluctant to sort. I am in the UK at the moment so think it might be easier sorting it here...
