HMC Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Looks like a special order interior option. Perhaps an overseas vendor “mot to OKT 21” sounds a bit German. My main beef with these is the injector seals; sloppy and inadequate design; aside from that lovely! EssDeeWon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a UK car with no export markers. Has a really clean MOT history. Seems a good price to me, and local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mally Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 If I wanted one for Xmas I'd just buy it. I'd offer £1,600 first mind. No scrub that, if it's local I'd go round with £1,600 in my back pocket. There's always the hole in the wall if you absolutely must have it.

Even has conti tyres on which indicates a well looked after / cared for car. hmmmm trying to arrange a call but ebay are blocking the emails containing a phone number.

EssDeeWon Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 Fair points, I did wonder perhaps lost the logbook. I dont know how the whole private plate thing works. Have tried sending my number in disguise but ebay are being rather annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstraight6 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 That looks nice, and with an excellent choice of engine. I had a Merc ML with this engine some years ago and it was brilliant.... EssDeeWon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssDeeWon Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 Yep had a change of plate. Going to view it saturday morning if its still available. Foreign sounding chap, seems friendly and genuine enough but I asked has it been reliable he said sometimes it needs things but I think it was more a breakdown in comms rather than him saying its unreliable. Had all fluids and gearbox oil changed, parking sensors and leccy seats fixed. bigstraight6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssDeeWon Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 It had 'fuel lines and seal' replaced in 2015 due to a non start issue costing £262 @95K miles It has only done 300 odd miles since March 2018. Has been off the road without an MOT for 18 months March 2019 until Oct this year!? I can't get my head around this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EssDeeWon Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 To summarise for my own sanity - owned last 6 years, but for the last 3 years it has been parked in his garage, not MOT'd for half of that time and only covered about 300 miles since early 2018. I can't work out if its an absolute gem or a potential PITA riddled with problems. It looks mint condition with a clean MOT history but a lack of any real S/H.

Asimo Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I got all excited about buying one of these once - I was going to be all adult and get a sensible modern Diesel. It didn't happen because I got sidetracked by less sensible options (the petrol V8s were similar money to buy) but I do recall that this 2.7litre engine does have a bit of a reputation for leaking injector seals which can be difficult to repair. So have a quick google and have a good look under the plastic engine cover. Good luck. EssDeeWon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Just ask him how long he's owned it, and if he says longer than the DVLA site seems imply, ask him why this is. If it's because he's moved or had private plates taken off, then surely he can prove it? Ref. sending him your number, I've found asking how long it is, then making a really crude drawing of a car with your telephone number scrawled below it works. Send him a picture of the drawing and ask him to check it thoroughly to make sure the size looks correct. Have found maybe 85-90% of people twig and see your number.
