CL600 monstrosity...see it to belive it...

[malc350]

I know such things are a matter of opinion but take a look at this:

That's why I don't get jealous of people wit more money than myself. You just can't buy taste.

Seriously would anyone give more than a tenner for this artistic creation. It's the only CL I've ever seen that I can imagine getting the driver laughed at everywhere he (or she) went!

Unless the interior has been modded in a similar tasteless way, all anybody bidding has to do is budget for a high quality respray.

 

[malc350]

so just knock £43,000 off the asking price then!

plus change the body / wheels / interior back to something tasteful....

All that and no keyless go.

And budget for some high quality bodywork to remove the louvres and other nonsense ....

And then budget for a retrim to remove the embroidered scorpions from the interior

It would be quite nice if it wasn't for the silly louvres and embroidery ....

Didn't think a 600 had 600 bhp ?

If thats really carbon then it would explain the colour but still its one thing to leave the roof unpainted but the rest really should have been matched.

I don't even want to look at the rest of it, making me feel queasy.

 

[malc350]

They have 500 BHP standard

Didn't think a 600 had 600 bhp ?

Though an extra 100 bhp is always welcome...

Sorry, only looked at the small picture at the start of the ebay entry.

Agree with you now, the whole thing's hideous.

Dreadful massacre of one of Mercedes most beautiful and elegantly looking cars. Off with his head, I say!

All that and no keyless go.

I can understand that, I would not want keyless go. Highly overrated in my opinion. I tend to get a long list of options on my cars, but keyless go would not be one of them. Each to their own, me thinks .

The car may have keylessgo you cant tell from the pics,, I think its nice to have

Horrible!
Looks like one of those cars that's been to the scrapyard for 2nd hand body panels & the owner hasn't bothered to paint them to match the rest of the car

I tried it when I got my current car, but I really didn't see the point. The W/V220 still came with keys and a keyhole, even with keyless go (I think on more recent cars they put some plastic over the keyhole ). Is this also the case for your car? As I unlock the car from a distance anyway, and as they key stores my personal settings, and as turning the key to the start position is effectively the same as pressing the keyless go button, I just could not be bothered with it. But then again, we all have our preferences, so clearly other people might find it useful .

Now, distronic on the other hand is a different matter. I foolishly didn't try it at the time so my car hasn't got it and I really regret that. I've tried it a while ago and it is simply fantastic!

Which City has Taxis in the same colour combo?

Each to his own as you say, the keyless go cards store the personal settings the same as the keys. Re the distronic MB Exeter have always 100 cars for sale and you would be hard pushed to find one with it.

Back on topic that 600 is horrible

Proof if proof were needed that money doesn't buy you taste

Wouldn't it have to have the "engine start/stop" button on the gear selector?

 

[MBManInKen]

I'm pretty sure I've seen B/W taxis in Cairo (Fiat 125 no doubt ), and likely that one of the many San Francisco taxi companies uses it as well ?

Yes, on a W215 that would be the case I believe.

Thailand jet lag effect?

ARGH! Arghhhhhhhhhh!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

If my reaction to the car wasn't clear enough, I'll elaborate; It looks Horrendous!!!
