seacow Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 In a blatant attempt to take advantage of what is probably our summer thought I would test the water today. Probably above the usual Autoshite bangernomics budget but easier life on here than ebay etc etc I picked this up as a daily for 12 months 2 years ago and love it! 83k potted history but serviced twice in my ownership. Had 4 new good year tyres when I bought it and new brake pads on the back. The brakes are currently squeaking a bit - will clean if I get time, Comes with set of Brembo discs and pads for front - not needed but bought and not had chance to fit. It’s auto - roof works perfectly comes with official merc wind deflector. MOT is July. Drives great - did north coast 500 and used daily with no issues - economy is reasonable. It’s a three foot car - looks good in pics but plenty of marks and blebs - rust on wings as is the norm - worst in pics - will need doing in due course but not unsightly - I spend more time cleaning and waxing this than the expensive cars in the fleet!! I’m not convinced I want to sell and will regret it but I have another ‘toy’ car and could do with something with 4 seats - been offered a family car which has sentimental appeal but one out one in - if no one fancies I can see me keeping another 2 years!! I’m looking for £2k - tell me if I am taking the piss - I know you will!! Comes with model of car with correct colour and plates - that has to be worth an extra couple of hundred?!?!? If it rains tomorrow I’m sure value will plumit! djimbob, The Moog, Fat_Pirate and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seacow Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 I am giving this a cheeky self bump as I fancy the A8 @sims00 is selling. I’m going to put on gumtree but she owes me £1800 but happy to take offers if anyone is interested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltox Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 How about a swap for my X5 instead? An itch I’d like to scratch, but no spare coin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An itch I’d like to scratch, but no spare coin That’s exactly how i bought it - always fancied one but never thought very highly but actually love it! Funnily I was looking at your ad earlier with interest but being sensible we have the XC90 so if I move SLK it will be the A8 (if still available) or the sentimental family car! Now if you can sell the X5 the chain is long but doable!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
