E320 Spotline cabriolet

[janner]

Only needs aircon to be pretty much perfect. Surely worth the £9-11K guide price?

They'll be lucky to get anywhere near that in the current market. The price of Cabs has dropped like a stone.

Blimey, that was cheap

There is no service history before 36k miles. Strange for a 3 owner car. Means the mileage can not be verified.
Neil is right the prices have plummetted in the last year but I expect that in 5 years time they will be up from here not down some more - they are just such verey good cars (I have one tucked up in my garage!)

Hmmm, private listing........how soon before this magically reappears as unsold last time around due to "timewasters"

A freind of mine is looking for one of these & called the seller yesterday to see if the sale went through. The seller's phone # is on the listing.

It did. It was a legit sale & the car is gone.

My friend is deeply regretting being a lazy ****er as this ticked the 5 speed, Sportline, low # of owners, desireable colour combination & many other boxes.

The seller said he figured the price would drop further & he wanted to get out of it now.

Last week an E220 Sportline Cab sold for £4,300 on ebay. Not as nice as the black one but still way down on what it's have sold for not long ago. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MERCEDES-BENZ...286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66:2|65:13|39:1|240:1318

It's a buyers market now.

Bargain indeed then...........but not as much of one as your 560 !

 

[neilrr]

Reduced from £8,995 to £6,500 & still unsold as of yesterday after weeks of advertising.

I know.

It's getting to the point where the 560SEL will be broken as I've nearly had enough enquiries for enough bits to get my dosh out of it.

I think the next 2 years will be a good time to get one of these. Prices cannot go too much lower before they rise as the higher mileage ones get increasingly tatty.

Private listing is the default setting on ebay for cars, its nothing untoward
