'If you do not want to pay £150k to buy the new Mercedes -Benz Maybach S600/Lorinser luxury vehicle' Then you're highly unlikely to want a hideously crayoned 210,000 miles S320 diesel? Verdict: HORIFFIC. Sometimes a ‘one off’ isn’t always a good thing, Fred West was a one off. I find it a bit tragic reading through the description, it’s a one owner so he’s bought it new if I read that right, so obviously a man of means at that point, then 15 years later he’s reduced to driving pairs of crack heads to the registry office in it. Reading that makes me feel like something has gone badly wrong in his life there. It goes on to say how affordable to run it is. It won’t be. If you’ve no money, buy an Astra diesel, not this. My sympathy really does run out when he says ‘people look and wonder if it’s a famous person driving...’ I can guarantee if I saw this I’d think it’s owned by someone who cashed in a £5,000 endowment policy and manages a pub with a flat roof. Drives a Mercedes S-class but pays for the gas and electric on a card £5 a time at the post office. ’Extraordinarily fast...’ No, a Ferrari 512 BB is extraordinarily fast. ‘Recently serviced at Mercedes...’ If you turned up at Mercedes in this they’d tell you to shift it round the back, they’d hand you a quote that looked like a Melbourne telephone number and you’d get your mate who runs a ‘garage’ from a prefab affair round the back of his house to put the wrong oil in it from ECP. He rounds it off with ‘you deserve a treat...’ this isn’t a treat, it’s a millstone round your neck. ’I will consider a swap’ - despacito.

Prodigiously thirsty, driving it to south of France nearly bankrupted him. When he came to sell it nobody wanted to know when you told them it had a 2.0 pinto in it, he ended up raffling it off on EBay to a mosque in Rochdale.

Verdict: HORIFFIC. Is this possibly that £1500 S-Class that featured on here a couple of months ago? I'm sure it was that colour and had a brown interior like this one. It was pretty bashed up hence why the possible lower half re-spray. Cavcraft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, despite what the seller says, it still has a month's test left. I'd be tempted, but my recent experiences with buying shonky diesel Citroëns from Sussex have not been good. FFS, I've only just twigged that the bloke selling this is the same bloke I bought the C2 from. So I'll definitely be giving it a miss...

wuvvum Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 This is back on, with a reduced starting price. MOT exempt now too. Interestingly the MOT checker reckons it's petrol not diesel, so it may have had a conversion. I'm almost tempted - it'd be nice for the Iveco to not be the slowest vehicle in the fleet anymore.
