    I dunno, that Merc is almost brand new.. worth close to that for an enthusiast I reckon. At least it doesn't say 'barn find' in the ad.

    Somebody is scouring the UK for low mile one owner cars and flogging them here. They are a regular sight amongst 3 or 4 dealers

    That car could still have new car smell it's so under used.

    I could see someone going for that

    I dont this this is worth the sniff of €10k. Sure there's some attention to detail involved, excuse the pun but the basis of it is a Caddy, slammed with alloys and a different rear bumper. €6-7k would be sensible.

    Wheels look like hubcaps.

    I reckon it needs a springy CB aerial and an LED beacon to complete the package.. there's a market for that.. probably a lad in a Scania jacket who doesn't drive lorries

    I think this fella might be slightly optimistic:

    2011 Mercedes Benz E250 CGI BE Sport 2 Door - €33500

    "slightly"

    You have a genuine gift for understatement ;)

    Lol. Just checked autotrader and you could buy 3 of them for ~€30k. You would still have to pay VRT but still..

    The poor lad probably can't believe the depreciation, he's in for a reality check!

    Like a quick check even on carzone would not show what a total chancer price that is. It's not even dreamer price, it's delusion

    Had a look myself.
    There are no other petrol cars for sale, all Diesel

    Most expensive one between 2010 and 2013 is a 131 with 61,155km for €24,950 off a dealer.

    Very pricey!

    Have to disagree, it’s still a Golf, and an unmodified 5 door one will still make €4500-5500 all day long.

    Now it’s not my sort of thing, but for your average ball bag this saves them the bother of buying fake scirocco wheels and JOM coilovers and all the other must-haves.

    I agree with ya but you would surely pick up a Highline cheaper less all the tack of course!

    You might, but the question here is if it will sell for close to the asking, to which I’d say it will.

    Lovely looking example of one of these, but €32k? Maybe I'm out of touch!

    Crewcab done to more recent (now defunct) specs without having the floor and exhaust to be hacked up like they were back in the day for the old regs.

    Still horrendous value though.

    I would like to think I'm fairly clued up on average prices etc, what a car is worth but lately I'm seeing loads of stuff on Donedeal and thinking "surely that can't be right"

    Is this 12 grands worth?

    Whatever about the price I personally find it suspect that they have several almost professional style photos of the rear but the front is only barely visable in shadow in poor photos.
    Why not take the same quality frontal shots when the back ones were taken

    Seen this ad linked over on backroads and was going to post the exact same thing, pretty dodgy.

    looks like the photos were taken in about 18 different locations also :)

    All the rear photos show me is the piss poor respray on the back bumper

    I would personally stay away from any ad where the owner is happy to accept a swap deal - generally only boy racers put this kind of ad up.

    And on Latvian plates.
    Do know what's worse, asking 17k or that he drove it from Latvia

    It’s class but it’s obviously not worth that much.
