560 SEC - Deluded Vendor?

[isobars]

RARE 1987 Cream 6 Litre (5547 CC), Mercedes - Benz 560 SEC!! | eBay

Maybe that question mark could have stayed in the type-setters box!

Never has a car had a more apt 'past tense' number plate.

Totally deluded at that price, it does not even start.

Water leak under the car, will likely be leaking SLS.

Even mint it wont be worth 10k. It is an unusual colour, and has pentas, they are the only good things about it.

Based on what i paid for mine, i might give him 300 quid for it, no more.

Dream on Mister, your potential ten grand motor is scrap!

The first letter of your last word is superfluous!

He's taken a few pics of the off-side, which shows the car to be in atrocious condition, but none of the near-side which is presumably even worse.

He's probably trying to raise all the money he can in order to restore his rather ramshackle country pile and to re-float his boat.

The SEC has probably been pulled out the same pond/lake that the Boat in the background was intended for....

will not TAKE VERY MUCH to be fully operational again. Overall if you spent about £1000 on this car then for that price the car would be running perfectly and the body work would be fixed.

My SL is in the paint shop as I type, mine is straight as a gun barrel,some before images, I only have stone chips in the bonnet, cosmetic carparking scratches, scabby wheel arches, but no holes and no parts missing, my paintwork is north of 2k, and that's at mates trade rates, to do what the vendor suggests at the price he suggests, go to B&Q and get 5 litre of magnolia gloss and a pack of rollers

Not so much deluded, just clueless!

poor poor car

 

[Williamwoo]

Hasn't been taxed for 7 years (and very unlikely ever to be again I would think).

Also, why does 5547cc = 6 litres?

I imagine in the same way that five and a half inches is often rounded up to six.

I imagine in the same way that five and a half inches is often rounded up to six.

Or the same way that an abject pile of poop is rounded up to a good restoration project ?

I particularly like the comment "It need some new fuses as some of the old fuses are dead but this is literally NOTHING!" & "The bumper has come off so it needs to be put back on to the car"
This has to be a scene from a new series of fonejacker lol

He's an aspiring estate agent.

Look on the bright side chaps, at least his listing says you can call him every day!

 

[Palfrem]

He has a few interestingly priced other items for sale too.
