This looks like it could be a decent buy. 1 owner C180 with a years test and tax till May, €650 (really needs to be had for €500 though)

And the right shape c class too.

Tis lovely.

Classic selection, judging by the colour and wheels (I had a C220 in the same colour and trim years ago)

Has a few nice extras over the Classic trim level as it was a runout model at the time

Do you know what the difference is between them and the mk2? It looks like a good bargain.

They are less powerful and less efficient as the model that followed. By how, much I don't know..

Very nice car and a great ad. More of a fixer upper than a bangernomic IMO, surely someone handy ish would have that back on the road for another €750 or so? Be some car for €1500.

Why a fixer upper if it's taxed and tested for 6 months @ €750 ?
Surely the definition of bangernomics ,

buy it for 500 (as stated in thread)

and drive it til Jan 20 . Chance 3 months out of tax , and take delivery of your new 2020 EV and sell it for 400 for parts ?

Do you really think that car will make it to 2020 with no attention?

To me, at least, bangernomics is about cheap "jump in and drive" cars. I couldn't do that with that car. Let's face it, the reason that such a pretty car, in such good visual condition, with so much tax and test is for sale for so little is because the owner is jumping ship because he can no longer depend on it, he clearly loved it.

It needs a rack, you couldn't rely on that car to go around the block, that's why the owner wants out and that's why it's not a bangernomic to me. That's before you get into the ABS fault, the DPF fault, the air con fault, the wheel bearing fault, due a belt etc.

It may well be a bargain, i'm not saying it's not, it'd be a lovely car repaired but all you are buying for €750 is that mans problems, in a pretty dress. If it were still a good, useable, daily driver, I suspect it wouldn't be for sale. Fixerupper.
