for that money I'd rather get a very nice C43 and spend what's left on a Smart Roadster Coupe. It's rare because nobody wanted the things in the first place and it's performance is only marginally better than a C43. If I recall, they cost £60k new EEK!
 
...can't find a long enough barge pole. Caveat emptor. And what a crap advert.

Wasn't there one for sale recently, with 'one royal titled owner' and a similar mileage for about £25K? I am not sure if it was sold though?

If there are only two in this country then there they are!

Oh, and yes, awful description, no photos and he wants £30K upfront...yeah ok! :crazy: :rolleyes:

Cheers,

Will

Nope that one was black, it must be the one with the titled owner plus a £5k premium over the last sale price!
 
Found it! April 2003 edition. A guy called Kevin Waters owned a C55AMG dark metalic blue, then 40,000 miles, Carlsson 18" alloys. So its not that one, so what colour was the Royal owned one?
 
Heres the "Royal" one
 
It was for sale at sovereign cars for £24,995. 1998 model. 18in wheels.
 
Having reread the ebay ad, it sounds like the car above. £30k ?? No Pictures??
 
If there are only 2, then I saw this car (the silver one) in Parsons Green about 3 months ago.....

This costs a bit in bank fees and legal costs but does give you a great deal of control over the process.

Buyer & Vendor agree on a bank (yours of course) which holds the funds in Escrow pending all the DVLA, HPI, Police etc,etc checks.

Bank will only release the money once you have formally confirmed that all is in order. That means you must know what conditions he needs to satisfy before you start. If vendor is genuine this should not be a problem: he has made a legally binding (conditional) sale and knows the money is held in safekeeping by a trustworthy third party (the bank) only until he can satisfy you that he has good title.

If he fails to satisfy your enquires the contract fails, you instruct the bank to terminate the Escrow arrangement and return funds to your account. Then notify the Police of an attempted Criminal Deception.
 
When you think you could buy a C43 for £13k to £15k, 30k seems a lot.......... C43 and lot of mods??
 
I agree with all the comments made above. Not to mention that a C43 and C55 look physically exactly the same from the exterior and interior.. except for the badge on the boot, and you are paying £15,000 over the price of an average c43.
