Footballer owned CL500

[Watchcame430]

Not into football, so couldnt care less but assume they had money so if in long ownership might be a good sign of good maintainance.

Looks clean and if you could swap back to decent wheels this might be nice?

...if in long ownership...

Might have only had it for 6mths, 13 years ago.

The ad does imply it was owned by the footballer for some time, but premiership footballers often get given cars, why would they run an old MB?

A possibility perhaps ?

Exactly .... I also doubt it was a long ownership but not impossible ... Might have given it to their wife, parents, PA, rent boy etc to run around in.

Surely they would crush a car that killed someone? I guess starnger things have happened.

It was owned by Mark Viduca

Could be 'a' footballer in that situation and said footballer could have more than one car...

I think he means selling because he can't afford to get the suspension fixed,oh well,
nice story about a pro footballer anyway.

When I was working for a prestige car company we sold lots of cars (new and used) to premiership and championship footballers. Some of the footballers were regular customers and often changed their cars. Many bought cars in their names that were mainly for use by family members. Lots of the cars came back to us as part exes - in all sorts of conditions. Some had little or no service history, whilst others were lovingly cared for. Where I live now my next-door neighbour until recently was a championship footballer - I never saw his Audi clean and he admitted that it was just a form of transport for him. So I can say that previous history as being owned by a premiership footballer means absolutely nothing. They love or ignore their cars as much as everyone else.
