10 year old merc for €5k? Where is the bargain?

No mention of Service History in the advert which if I was selling a S Class would be boasting about. I would not even consider buying one of these without a service history. Panzors are not cheap to fix if not properly maintained.

This looks better value imo:

There have been previous threads about this company on this forum, so maybe check those out in case it affects your decision.

If you dont do much miles and can afford about twice the purchase price for possible repairs, go for it. Tax is big too.

It must have been some price new .There is very limited market for it now I reckon even at that price.

I suspect someone has a broken space bar on their computer or something :pac:

BMW.7351.IRISH.CAR.FULL.BMW.SERVICE.HISTORY.NEW.NCT.82010.BLACK.LEATHER.AS. NEW.CONDITON.INSIDE.AND.OUT. 3.MONTHS.WARRANTY...BARGAIN'@..6.8250..now.reduced..to...4750..or possible trade in taken @ 8250 price

Always wanted a 7351

Whats with the difference between the 8250 in the description and the sub 5k price on the advert though?

Unkel's 7 series would be worth a look.

Either the car was overpriced to begin with or they have the car along time and that was the orginal price that they forgot to amend.

Thats what I thought too, until I read the bit about possible part ex at original price of 8250 - never ever seen that in an advert before. Nearly 4k mark-up to consider a trade-in? Blummin heck!

It's an SE not a highline, and it's a UK import, hardly 1 owner,

unlikely that the owner would live in the UK, move to Mayo, then to Dublin in such a short space of time.

Has to be a scam of some sort. doesn't seem to have the parking sensors and satnav listed in the ad either. looks like they just took a pic of the car and stuck it in an ad.
