Where is this "brabus body-styling"?

 

[stats007]

If it's a M113 engined car, FMBSH, with a Panoramic roof and 39k miles, it should go for ~£18k. Not sure what the Brabus styling is and he means Xenons not neons I hope.

I was going to say the same thing myself. Looks like a bog standard R129. My instincts too tell me that something is not right with teh advert.

Its not that cheap to be honest as thats how much they go for now...

Sounds like a nice car though, not that a matchbox-sized pic gives anything away...

thats not that cheap, Tans car was better!

Trust me it's cheap if it's a mint facelift M113. I have been looking for a replacement for mine for the last three months! No offence to Tan, but his car was in pretty bad condition and had twice the mileage.

Check it out, if you like it, go for it. I note he has sated nearest offer, so try a reasonable offer.

Good luck,

Don't fancy a second one to use as a beater during the week then?

 

[stats007]

Silver isn't my first choice! Was a good deal so couldn't really pass on it.

I'd say it was cheap. but not unreasonably so (as in the £20K SL55s that you see on eBay! ). Perhaps he was given a poor offer from a trader and is trying to do slightly better? Maybe the winter months are affecting prices too, and perhaps most likey there is some sort of 'story' to go with it (impending mechanical doom or maybe known to HPI? ). Could still be a cheap honest car though and sometimes cars do turn up cheap and happen to be good ones!

Proceed with caution (as always) but don't be put off until checking.

and wheres the photos!!!

My digital camera has gone UTS, besides I want to clean it properly and get the wheels refurbed etc before showing it off

My 1999 SL500 I sold for £18,500. It was Obsidian black with black leather - if anyone saw it it was immaculate - 67k miles with FMBSH, panoramic roof, wood pack, heated seats, undershields, tracker etc.

 

[C240Sport97]

surely a Silver Arrows limited edition has to be silver?

that was a lovely edition. we need pics. NOW! borrow a digital camera

Silver isn't my first choice! Was a good deal so couldn't really pass on it.
