Low mileage W124 Carat Duchatelet

[janner]

Worth £4800 just because of the mileage? Carat bits make it even sweeter?

Eye of the beholder, of course, but to me it doesn't look too special.

For £4800 I'd want either more quirky or more classic.

My 2d.

Cheers,

Its a lot of money for a pretty ordinary spec saloon apart from the Carat bits. In my opinion they don't do anything for it. Would prefer a higher spec without the kit.

Same here.
Incidentally, what does Carat spec actually mean? And Duchatelete?

In this case: "The Carat conversion consist of full body colour coding, 17'' Alloy wheels,lowered suspension, front and rear bumpers, rear spoiler, rear sports exhaust box,front fog lights."

Other Carat conversions included uprated interiors to varying degrees of tastefulness.

Hmm, I wonder if he'd be game enough to accept an offer of £4441.55...

Welcome ivan. Lovely car for that money. A W124 with less than 40K miles must be almost brand new.

hi thanks for your comments the car is just as you would expect even has original invoice and invoice for carat work for over £4000 only work needed was a good clean with a clay bar then a good wax then later i will get a little scuff on one alloy sorted the only disappointment is i thought all e124s have cruise but not in this case

 

[Smarties]

What a fantastic find and buy. Would have given it a home in a flash....if I had the space. Is it going to be a daily driver, weekend special or garage queen?
