Runner up prize in the 'how not to obfuscate your number plate' competition: 

R Class Merc with issues £1200 on FaceBook
Dropped seller a line - it needs a MoT,  their local garage has scanned it for an EML on and reckons it needs glowplugs, windscreen cracked and it has a MB recall to check something or other. Front bumper giffered.
The 'hidden' number is WD08CWP
Images shows it to be the R280 - killer for me is the £675 per annum car tax

The recall is to check corrosion on the brake booster, if it fails they will buy the car from you if it passes you get an M + S voucher

Interesting - wonder if I could rust it up a bit and then see if they'll buy it for more than the seller wants?
Only kidding - wife would kill me if I rolled up with one of those sans MoT.
I think that car and it's ilk will just get priced out to the scrapyard pretty soon?

seeing as the Honda motocompo fetch 2-3K

 

I suspect that is true, although many put them on sale at £4,000 plus.....

Yeah I run a GL and the tax is on the high side but most big engined 4x4s after 2005 are high tax 

I see it as small potatoes for a car that does everything I need it to, is easy to work on and has been quite reliable.

Trouble is that I already have the Volvo 940 @ £300+ road tax - if I add the R Class then I'm pushing £1,000 for an 'occasional/weekend' use brace of vehicles. I could faff around on an alternate month SORN I guess? Wonder if the family accountant would go for that?
Windscreen is circa £400, EML I'd take a punt on - sorely tempted but I'd need to have serious negotiations with The Management

Live the dream of EV ownership while retaining the driving passion of a manual gearbox

 

"It has 5 gears and reverse, you cant change whilst driving but the higher the gear the faster you go."

Interesting spiel in that ad - I'm getting the idea that the seller has no basic idea wtf they are actually punting?
Intriguing idea but it's about 120 miles from here - would it get me home? FaceAche reckons it is an Golf Cart. I think he's missed the BIG SALE idea in that it is ULEZ compliant

'Arse T' sounds like the answer to 'who sung 99 Problems?' in a  Stoke pub quiz.

Yeah, so sorry I missed this one a few days back (been bizzy)

So this vaguely interested me if only for the number plate.

Ah ok, so they've retained it then.

So what will happen is, someone will get the winning offer, rock up, find that its reg is actually DL51PVM and go "Yeah, fuck right off, bye"

Rinse and repeat.

Saab 95 diesel estate. Could be a good car for £1300

 

Also, not many dealers advertise their cars as being ideal for dogging, but this guy clearly knows his market

This looks absolutely epic. E430 in a fantastic spec from a long term owner in what seems to be remarkable condition, at a bargain price! Absolutely would.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/668987661381293/?ref=facebook_story_share

This can only really be topped by an E55 in similar condition.

What a beauty especially for £1500!

How much is a flight to Cambridge?

If you fly to East Midlands I will take you to Cambridge for free. I need to make sure someone buys it because I'm falling for it!

The danger is it's not going to be available until the 18th and I'll have lost enthusiasm by then.

In my vast experience of motorcar ownership, low owners trumps all other factors.

Someone should buy this immediately.  It’s in the RAV4 owners group.

That’s nice but why couldn’t the seller just advertise it on the 18th August when it’s available?

I could fetch this easily for you. Thinking about snaffling it and raffling it too.

“You can’t park there mate”

At least that angle of shot helps hide the weird roofline
