LUXOBARGE (sub5k) of the week/day

Duke O Smiley

Agreed yeah, they don't really command very much it seems. The low mileage is a nice bonus though

Midnight_EG

That's strange, they usually pop up over 10k for a 600h and up to 15k if it's a 600hl

maybe an 08 on the cheaper tax band, but not an 07 in the 1809. its still a 13 year old car.

I think on co2 tax they’re still pretty expensive to tax aren’t they? €1200?

Either or, that's from keeping an eye on them too. I'd a 600 on my radar for the last few years but couldn't justify spending 10k+ on any car let alone a 600 :P

Even look at the prices in the UK

Yes LS600h is €1200. It only goes to cheapo tax with the current 500h model at €390, all 354bhp of it

I’d be surprised if anything about that was actually Brabus

Low mileage 730 petrol, recent(ish) history, small bit of tax and test, €2800

Poor spec, but looks nice

looks nice but my christ theres nothing on that. "I want the cheapest 7 you have, literally"
the only reason it has PDC and front fogs is that they were standard for UK/IE

Looks like she was well minded from day one and had an easy life, very nice actually for the money.

Nice looking petrol S class, original Irish, not too many owners, low miles, long NCT. €4999

I like this. Hard to gauge the spec level, but its probably not spectacular. Radar cruise judging by the front grille I think.

It’s a very nice example, but I think it’s asking a touch too much at €4999, should be sub €4K at this stage, 14 year old German saloon at the highest tax band, maybe I’m wrong?

€2800 asking for the 730 which isn't too far off it engine wise, so I'd reckon you are correct.

The w221 merc aesthetically from the outside is on another planet to the bm... wouldn't pay 5k or close for the merc. Unless there are being given away. Unless they are in lwb and black, the really dont look that impressive!

The bm v that merc is far better value and at least its 1494 and not e1809

the w221 has definitely aged better. can easily be facelifted to look like the 2010-2012 model too.

Still holding out for a petrol in black with cooled seats :pac:

Ha the cooled seats will make it a bit of a wait ! Yeah they have to be facelifted. To fork out 1809 on the mediocrity of looks they come with pre facelift is laughable...

Old Skool LS just under budget, some might say too expensive but I reckon it's worth the money once it's clean!

I'd buy it but I've no shed big enough to store it..

I don't think so. When was the last time you saw one. I think there's plenty who would pay close to that if they could

Duke O Smiley

That car has been for sale/sold a number of times over the last year or so. Always priced kind of strong too iirc

LS400s regularly sell for under €2500 the last 3-4 years, very consistently. You'd want to be mad in the head to spend that money on a horrible colour as well

Vintage tax in 10 years time.

It’ll cost you 18 grand in tax until then if it’s still roadworthy.
