OK....stole this idea from a US Dodge Charger site I used to frequent!....hopefully it will be as popular here.
Been looking at used Mercs (and other quality marques) on and for well over a year now a year now....watching the prices fall away on most of them and long may it continue. But some have been up for sale for months....some years. Now they either don't really want to sell them......or they are adamant that its worth the money they are asking....which after 6 months or more is clearly not the case....and if they really wanted to sell they would have lowered the price to a more realistic level.....or even just looked at what other similar cars are up for. So I thought we could post a few of them on here. Who knows the extra publicity might even get one or two of them sold...... I'll let then know my account details for the commission!!
Anyway this one first. When I first saw this (must be a year ago or more ....although the ad is only dated June 23...I saw it well before then) it was priced at £9995....clearly way too much.....its now £7995 and has been for quite a while. Not the most inspiring colour combo....but nothing hideous. The photos don't help especially the wheels. I was half interested to start with....but the near £700 a year VED and the claimed MPG being a couple LESS than the 212 E63 put me off. What do you think? Feel free to post cars you have seen up for sale forever.....preferably Mercedes.....but anything goes!!
Obviously the title should read "cars!....not "car".....does not seem possible to edit the title!!!....so if you can sort that Mods that would be great!
