Well it certainly looks well spec’d. Bit fugly though haha
 
Costing more than a Rolls or Bentley new surprised they sold any! I guess £100k covers the fax machine [emoji16]

Mercedes SL500 R231
 
That's a lot of grey
 
Remember seeing these online when they first came out and thinking they look amazing.

Bit tainted now by all the w220s you see in poor condition though. Hard to put a value on I guess.
 
They want the thick end of £60k but can't be bothered to clean the carpet in the driver footwell.

I'd be surprised if they got £6k for it.
 
Why the circa 1998-2000 buttons? Isn't normally the newest design features first appear in S-class?

The car is probably a 1998 not a 2008 as stated. It's an early pre facelift.

I see, that makes sense. Curious reg in that case - import?

Just had another, closer look - the speedo is in km/h for sure ...
 
Here's the datacard from my copy of WIS (Blueprint produced the VIN from that reg):

Interestingly, MoT history has it as a 560SEC, but that could well be a DVLA **** up with an import?
MoT years and mileage are few, but in mileage sequence. (with a Km speedo?)

Check out sellers feedback profile, seems to have specialised in old cheap cars.

This part of the ad tells a sensible person all they need to know -"Will Consider Anything Within Ebay Rules As A Possible Part Exchange"
Smacks of desperation trying to sell something which barely anyone wants or needs.
 
The only market I can think of would be third world dictators but foreign aid means they can buy new ones these days. Hard sell.
 
You would have to be good friends with whoever was sitting opposite it the back, or at least you would be by journeys end, all that kneen rubbing (Frottage, I think the French call it :rolleyes:) Might be OK as a tour bus for the Olympic Dwarf hurling team.

I think you might find 'frottage' is a bit more than knee-rubbing...;)
 
Well, I'm not a French teacher...Oooops.
