Trust me, pictures can lie.

 

[mickl]

that thing looks like it's on stilts

 

[grober]

dont like
pictures in a car park?
I'll pick you up at the station/airport?
one warped disc??
aircon regas -new type refrigerant required?
an 17 year old spare tyre??
no radio display/ clock?
no dents---the odd car park ding ??
self leveling rear suspension expensive to sort if it goes wrong?
otherwise??

 

[neilrr]

Prefer the walk do you Graeme?

I'm sure that's not leather but MB Tex and it's a pre facelift model which tends to be more rust prone. It's already far too expensive at £1300. I sold my 2.6 in a better colour for £700 and it had cream leather, albeit with higher mileage.

 

[neilrr]

It's leather.

Leather pre face lift cars have a different pattern to post leather cars.

 

[dougl65]

Yes you're right! Just had a look at the supersize photos!

Nope just being picky about the advert really. He seems to contradict himself He says he has been selling mercs for 25 years and implies the car is in "immaculate condition" BUT then goes on to list all the things that are wrong with it. Why does he not replace the front discs and repair the aircon for example before selling it. I didn't like the dark stains on the ground under the exhaust tail pipes either-- valve stem seals?? On the other hand maybe its just because I wouldn't be seen dead in a car that colour. Just doesnt suit the car like the darker Almandine red does.

Maybe you undersold yours

Being offered for sale by auction again

Couldn't sell it for want of trying! Pictures are still around here... somewhere

Because traders never spend a penny on non-bodywork repairs, it costs more than the added value it brings.

Others will disagree but I'd value the car at £500.
