Sadly I suspect this is genuine. CL500 prices are taking a nosedive at the moment, generally failing to meet Parker's guide prices. Hopefully once the oil price scare (which is a direct result of panicking city boys, nothing else) abates perhaps prices will rise again to reflect these cars true appeal.
i agree but think we could have a long long wait...............

It's a scam. See email I received:
Hello,
The car is located in Lugo, Spain and so am I. We've recently moved to Spain and brought the Mercedes with us.
It's in showroom condition, no scratches, no dents, accident-free.
2002 model and still UK registered. RHD, UK supplied (NOT AN IMPORT). 29934 miles.
The price I'm after is 9900 pounds sterling (ono) including delivery to your home address and full insurance during shipping.
Please let me know if you're interested so I can provide you with further details.
Thanks for the interest

I sent this...
Hi, I am very interested in your car. With all the pictures and your accurate description I feel sure I will buy this car. The only problem is that I moved to Spain last year and I have not been able to find a nice CL500 here. I can catch the ferry to England to view if necessary or I can pay you and arrange shipping to Galicia, Spain?
Yours,
Gary Pentacles
Now, given that Lugo is in Galicia and Gary Pentacles is an anagram of the name in the advert I wonder if I will get a reply?

I got a reply already...
Hi,
When can you come to see the car? I can ship the car to Spain and use a third party like eBay.
Regards
Stacey

Hmm, thought the car was already in Spain? Definitely a scam then.

Pistonheads is plagued with crap like this.
I looked at an ML a few weeks back only to find the ad subsequently hacked and the price dropped by £1700!!
I spoke to the seller as I suspected too good a bargain to miss and alas discovered the truth.
Bloody people!
