This is absolutely gorgeous, but absolute lunacy at €10k

This is the first CLS i've seen that has my mind ever so slightly changed, that's not a bad looking car at all. Considering the year, condition and low miles, surely it's not a million miles off? €7500-€8000 would be fair money, could be just starting high.

Its not vintage until August 2021 so he's dreaming at the moment. Unless there's a way to prove in 2021 that you it hadn't been in the country already there is a steep VRT bill looming.

There was a turbo in LHD markets. The US got a turbo diesel for one year only and they are quite collectable over there

selectamatic

They got a 2.5td om602 engine for about one year or something but I dunno were they ever made for the rhd market.

The om605 from a w202 c250td can be fitted relatively easily but I think the steering linkage has to be altered.

Duke O Smiley

No turbo, but its a nice 5 cylinder unit. The 2.0 diesel is not as nice

colm_mcm

Is that even turbocharged?

Duke O Smiley

€200 VRT and Nox exempt next year. If it’s as well sorted as the ad alludes it’s well worth the money. I don’t really see the appeal of them but there is a big market for W201/124 Mercs of that vintage

L-M

KMS and right hand drive and the Japanese writing of course, must of travelled.

To be fair it's worth that money to the right buyer, if it was cleared.

I'd say the NOX is definitely maxed out.

hoodie6029

€5,500 for a 1991 190D on English please plates anyone? Wouldn't like to see the NOX charge on this one.

Ive walked from many the car over phone holders stuck to dash just No!

At least on that car you could just replace the trim that goes around the gear lever and radio...

Absolutely when they drill the dash it’s a not as easy ..

Ive bought a lot of "Performance" motors from "Specialist" dealers over the years and ive yet to deal with one who had any real clue about real Detailing same with main dealers in fairness! Its a real profession to do it right and its expensive too!

Toyotafanboi

They frequently mention who details them. Ridiculously often on all their social media.

You’d wonder what their definition of a Deane quality car is, most cars look well once they are cleaned and polished up, you’d have to wonder to what the cars condition was like before I was polished to a inch of its life!

Genuinely didn’t see those horrible scuffs on the dash.

One thing my Father always says and it rings very through

“If a vintage car looks good in photos it’s probably rough,

If it looks rough in photos you can be assured it’s rubbish”

The Irish seem to be talented at saying things are mint and making them look mint.

Paddy thinks valeting a car is putting tyre shine on.

I know the novelty is wearing off these but I couldn't resist.

Was scrolling facebook, seen the name, seen the car thought in my head what kind of lotto numbers does he want for this yoke, €30k says I laughing.

Yup... actually €30k, dont all rush at once though, he has a choice of two.

TheW1zard

They only have to sell 1 or 2 cars a month to turn profit probably

Toyotafanboi

Being a bit pedantic over this but I suppose you can be given the asking price.

The threads are fraying a bit on the drivers seat bolster and I'd at least want the dust and sh1t cleaned out from that screw hole and in behind where the belt goes into the plastic trim.

A lot of scuffing on this lower dash panel

Boot floor has a lot of stains

Oil sweats from both rocker covers and brake fluid is as black as the ace of spades

O/S/R lower sill has a scuff

N/S/F alloy is nicked

And that's just what you can see in the rose tinted photos.

I know it's a used car not a new car but for the money I think it's fair to expect the car to be fooking mint. The prep work is minimal and poor, all things considered.

Is it worth over double the price if this one? I know it's higher mileage but it puts you in the ballpark. Even this one is strongly priced.

If you can see past the tire shine and hoover lines in the carpet, that 8 series looks quite tired, especially inside. The zoom function on those photos are not doing him any favours IMO.

I’m not for one second advocating the price, but I honestly can’t see it looking “tired” at all.

The seats look to be spotless, all the switch gear etc looks to be in very good nick, bodywork looks good and straight if you zoom in around...??

Deane motors have some lovely stock there’s no question about it, but their social media seems to been run by Ross O’Carroll Kelly.

Voodoomelon

You know how it works, get a fancy blue sofa in your showroom and charge what you like. Don't forget the yellow cushions.

Toyotafanboi

Yeah, I dont know what's cooler, the ///M that's vacuumed into the boot floor or the fact that the valeter didn't lift the stain beside it while he was there.
