LUXOBARGE (sub5k) of the week/day

There’s a fair few decent shots on the inter web of these Bentley’s looking absolutely amazing. Some car for the cash.

If the seller cleaned up those seats, gave it a valet and took some proper pics we would not be discussing it here...

I'd hate to be the reason he lost 3k on a car though

Eric Cartman · 12-05-2019 04:02PM

lovely motor, will keep going forever if maintained, the colour is a bit of a let down though, in black it would look a hell of a lot fresher

mullingar · 12-05-2019 09:55PM

+1.

That €3k would do a nice paint job.

That's amazing for just shy of €4k. Would this be a world of trouble for someone or could it conceivably be driven as a daily driver without breaking you in repairs

I had a CLS 320 diesel last year and it was fantastic. They're only based on an E Class but they look and feel superb, and even at 13 or so years old they still turn a lot of heads.

They're a bit old skool (I use the term very loosely!) compared to a 7 series or A8 (I know they're based on a smaller segment car, but still) and they don't have an MMI or iDrive system, some folks might like that and some might not. I found it hard to get used to personally but its only something small.

Airmatic would be the only major worry on them to be honest. Some have it and some don't. Mine didn't so I won't comment

to be fair the mercedes COMMAND system available for those is quite good.

that one above is grand but the spec, CLS500 would have cost a fair bomb back in the day and the owner didnt even spring for heated seats or navigation.

Yeah, it’s hard enough to find in a CLS on these shores though. Even the end of the line facelift cars don’t all have it. I sat in one with it, and it’s much easier to use then MMI/iDrive IMO - being touchscreen and having buttons, and the fact that the screen isn’t on the top of the dash helps too. I think it plays on that old stereotype that Mercs are for old men who wouldn’t understand how to use MMI/iDrive :P

This actually quite a well spec'd CLS, missing only Xenons really.

The alloys look like they could do with a refurb and those tacky Aldi DRLs need to go, but other than that its quite nice with reasonable miles and not a million owners

I actually offered him 4250 for it a few months back and he refused (it was 4650). Ended up buying a 730

bear1 · 15-05-2019 01:09PM

Are they not xenons? Can't tell on the phone.

Duke O Smiley · 15-05-2019 01:13PM

No

They all come with cut outs on the bumper for washers, but that car doesn't have xenons

Savage. I was curious about insurance costs so did a check online ..... 475!!!! I reckon I'm going to look at a luxobarge for my next car toward the end of the summer

I called him (polish chap I think by the accent) earlier and am viewing it later too.
I think he was surprised at the level of interest tbh

Will be heading in approx 10 mins with cash in hand to buy (if it's still there and all checks out)

You'd think Western Motors could cover up their trade sales a bit better though :pac:
