There is always some one out there.....

 

[Seamster15]

BTW unless you get a Turbo the Porsche will feel slow in comparison to the 55. But it will go around corners....

No doubt about it, the silver ones are a dime a dozen, most Mercs from that era tend to be silver.

My W124 Cabriolet is silver, & I am the first to admit that Azurite blue is the colour to have in a W124 cab/coupe.

Not only is this car not silver, its in a colour that suits it really well, helps it stand out (in a good way), so I would have to say its an advantage that this car has over the silver cars that it is blue & not silver...the colour can only help get it shifted, the same cannot be said of the price though....

I think you might have had some useful feedback.

You might find somebody who sees the car and its value as you do.

But TBH the seats, claim of COMAND in the spec, the tinted rear glass all raise warning bells - especially at a premium price in a currently fragile price sensitive market.

Please note that one of the respondents on this thread has gone through the process of laying out his hard-earned on a similar model. So you're getting feedback from someone who represents an actual buyer.

And a few others buy and sell them for a living.....

Looks like i've been missing all the action!

Sawyer, i remember this car being on trader about 12 absolute max 18 months ago. Its so distinctive you'd never forget it.

I also remember clearly it wasn't more than 14k then.......

warning bells ? it is a genuinly stuning car with nothing wrong with it really you need to see it to appreciate how good it actually is

That's not the point.

It could be a great car. But sensible buyers are a wary bunch. They know the seller has more information than they have so they're at a disadvantage. And that's your problem. A great car with a minor discrepancy that raises doubt is one the buyer will scan past in the ads or walk away from.

Spot on - if its not orginal its worth less, fact.

 

[sawyer]

minor discrepancy ?

BTW, it hasnt got COMAND - the data card is just showing it as an option because the paint code is 352 (see Paint/Equipment line)

352 is Linarite Blue Metallic (which is Bahama blue in North America)

[sawyer]

Seats, glass, chrome etc? Factory original, not Street.
