There is a silver w220 for sale near me for £5k. It has the V12 badges on the side.
Is it worth me investigating further for you?

I cannot help myself!



When people at work say "I am looking at spending £20,000 on a small, economical car new from a dealer" I say to them "Well, a 500hp, long-wheelbase sedan that is years out of warranty and which has suspension that costs £1000 per corner, has 'moments' where it will refuse to work and will not understand a word you say...what...yes, you can talk to it....is precisely what you need in London. Fuel consumption? Who cares"

They do not ask my opinion any more

That would be great, thanks. I have had the n/a V12 (and have a V12 at the moment of the earlier shape) so gradually ticking them off.

If I was into sailing, I would want this

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssss

I had called about that car when it was at the dealer but cannot recall why I did not go to see it (I think I was going away)

How much of that is covered under warranty?

My old S600 had over £30,000 in invoiced repairs (!) which is why I bought it and was actually a really good car but I really wanted a biturbo sol sold it only to have a biturbo sale fall through. Am sure the new owner is very happy with it and I would actually buy it back from him which is a good sign I suppose.

I did not realise that things were that bad with yours :-(

I've found out it's not a V12, it's an S500.
And he will be sending it to auction because 'it's missing' which to me sounds like the usual MAF/EGR/O2 sensor problem...

He said that the seller might accept a cheeky bid.

Hmm...sounds like there may be a few issues under there so will pass.

Thanks for looking into that though.

Well mine could easily have been 15k if i went to the dealers to do it all.
