<div class="bbWrapper">The seller is delusional.<br /> <br /> &quot;in a league of it's own&quot; - correct, way beneath lots of others.<br /> <br /> &quot;£120,000&quot; new...not a chance! £70,000 tops more likely.<br /> <br /> &quot;high spec&quot; - errr, no.<br /> &quot;top of the range&quot; - again, wrong. <br /> <br /> &quot;never had an MOT advisory&quot; - that would be interesting to check that out.<br /> <br /> In summary, a 116,000 mile SWB S500 with a worn steering wheel which needs a vacuum pump and electrical fault sorting, has either had some bad paintwork or the camera is playing tricks and is a pretty average spec car to start with.<br /> <br /> Bargepole?</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Car not on the Brabus register and other points to note.<br /> <br /> It has the wrong front and rear lower bumpers<br /> Any exhaust fitted by Brabus in 2001 would almost certainly have been replaced 13 years and 116k later (I had to replace mine)<br /> Exhaust exits are in the wrong place<br /> Rear lights are aftermarket specials<br /> Brabus always change the centre badge of the steering wheel on factory cars which they have modified cosmetically.<br /> Brabus never change the round external front and rear badges unless it is a Brabus engined car, the only exception to this is if the car has had a tuning package fitted at Brabus then they place a single chrome Brabus badge on the rear left of the boot, with customers consent.<br /> <br /> Without seeing the engine and other parts of the car you can't say for definite it hasn't had Brabus influence but if it has its likely it was done when Brabus operated in the UK</div>
