Thinking of getting one and looking for some advice
I haven't got one but my wife and I will be your friend as we are in Preston
Hello, what would you like to know?Thinking of getting one and looking for some advice
I am Seriously tempted by this beast, how does it look up to you?Hello, what would you like to know?
That’s outrageously good value. Truly outrageous value. The kind of value which makes your tummy turn if you already have one so thank you for making me aware of it!! It’s a nearly new car, so it should be in superb condition with no faults and plenty of warranty remaining. So all it should come down to is whether you like it or not. They’re a real experience to drive, and Obsidian Black with black hood is a great combination. You need to see it in the metal.I am Seriously tempted by this beast, how does it look up to you?

I’ve only ever dealt with Saxton 4x4 once. I was looking for a CL65 AMG for a special road trip, they assured me that theirs was immaculate. After a 4+ hour journey nobody was there was no one available to see me, and the car was seriously stone chipped like nothing I’ve ever seen, and the interior was torn in several places. Needless to say I cancelled the reservation and left without it. I only stumbled across some photos today. Probably a one off.
if there’s anything specific you would like to know, then just shout.
That’s already very very very competitively priced. I may have missed a “very”. The missed service is already reflected in the asking price so don’t expect too much off.It’s not looking good for Saxton, unless they make me an offer which substantially compensates for a significant lapse in the service history of a very expensive ‘supercar’ , the deal is off!
It’s to make sure they don’t accidentally break the rules in GDPR. It’s just not worth the risk of a substantial fine.Can you believe that a MB main dealer can’t tell me if it’s been serviced due to data protection! I have to prove I am the owner! I thought data protection was to protect the individual, I am not asking for personal data! Unbelievable.
if anyone has access to the MB system, the Reg is DK68RXF I think it originally came from Chester or Shrewsbury
Servicing isn’t really that much more than any other 4.0 AMG. Well not in theory anyway, but main dealers and unscrupulous independents often charge more for the same service/parts in new and/or more expensive cars. It’s even reflected in the slightly higher cost of the service plan. They just put the price up (for the service plan) in February and I’m kicking myself now. My dealer simply said expect it to cost the same as the rest!thanks BD
appreciate your comments.
the colour is MAGNETITE BLACK - METALLIC FINISH (183U) not obsidian, but suspect v similar!
there is an anomaly with the service history, in that it hasn’t been serviced when it was due 9 months ago! Trying to see if this impacts the warranty. It doesn’t have performance seats and carbon bits, is this an issue?
what are servicing costs like?
I know Saxton have a bit of a reputation, but as the car is so new!
heres what it looks like!
Unless I’ve missed it, I don’t see the photoshop pho-par.The external photos look like stock photos. If you look at the numberplate in the side-rear view photo you can cleary see that it's been photoshopped onto the car as it overshoots the recess.I reckon the number's been photoshopped onto all the pictures, I wonder why?
I've had another look at the photos , side/rear view still doesn't look right but it might be the light/shadows. If they have been photoshopped someones done a good job. Should have gone to specsavers.Unless I’ve missed it, I don’t see the photoshop pho-par.
It looks very glossy in the video in post #9.
