Wanted - Mercedes with 5.5 engine (moderate budget)

[mark_le_b]

Big ask I know - but looking for a new car - 5.5 litre engine (N/A or Kompressor)
Any model and/or colour considered
Within 40/50 miles of Gatwick I guess as I need it to be dropped off and has to be available to buy Friday 15th Feb 2019 (I can collect from Gatwick @ 6pm and head back to Jersey via Poole ferry) - I can't travel to collect, so would have to be brought to Gatwick
Preferred mileage sub 90k with decent MOT history (don't mind the odd small advisory which won't cost a fortune to correct) and HPI clear and in decent condition. Good service history and two keys would be nice.
May be too much to ask on my budget of £6000/£7000??!! Lots of tax to pay when importing - so budget not huge!
Feel free to shoot me down - or if you have something either comment or send me a message please
Thank you

Havn't got anything to sell ( collecting a SLK 55amg next week ) but just realised how much the cost of importing a car into Jersey has risen since I imported an E320cdi in 2012, from memory only 3% plus about £300 green car tax . Your import costs look crazy, nearly £2000 plus 5% if I understand the rules. Take it you can't find anything locally

Nothing local of any interest (maybe I shouldn't have sold my E500 after all)- the cost now is 5% GST on value of car - plus £1932 emission duty on anything that produces more than 200g of Co2, which is pretty much everything! Add to this a flight and a ferry back and not much change out of £3k

Bit late now to be worrying about selling, hope someone has something you fancy, assume you have looked at cars for sale on the forum website

Have done yes - TBH didn't think it would be such a struggle to find locally
