Here is the auction listing at Auction Room | Letchworth Motor Auctions
MP55AVX MERCEDES E320 CDI AVANTGARDE AUTO - 2987cc 5dr Estate Oct 2005 (55) Green Diesel Auto Oct 2012 168,800 Warranted 11 X SERVICES TO 153,000 MILES, 7 SEATS, AIR-CON, ALLOYS, HALF LEATHER
A relative of mine is considering bidding though I am very very suspicious because of:
1. How can 2005 E320CDI be 2987cc?
2. HALF LEATHER - What is that? Someone done mods to it? What else have they modded?
3. MOT Oct 2012 - probably means it has no chance of passing.
4. Last 14k miles - no service. Dodgy. During 153k miles only 11 services rather then at least 15!!!
Did enter the reg in ECP and GFS to actually get the make a model - surprise surprise:
ECP lists it as Mercedes-Benz ( 2005)E Class 3.0
GFS as MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS Estate (S211) E 320 T CDI Diesel (03/05 - 12/08)
I did check Parker's and 320CDI should be 3222cc.
So what sort of pumpkin is this? Am I right in advising not to value it as not much more then scrap (200 pounds) plus the value of tyres if they are of good brand and not much worn (so perhaps 600 pounds) ?
