    Coupes and Cabs in Ireland

    Have a look at this List of W124 coupes and cabs in ireland. What looks like a good coupe buy? I included the cabs as you can see they have a '94 cab with only 35,000 on the clock. Think i saw this before. Must be a UK import. Probably better to import a coupe myself as prices seem high ?
