LUXOBARGE (sub5k) of the week/day

We banning S320 Mercs from the thread aswel then?

Mine got beaten by a 2004 Corolla so mustn't be a Luxobarge as tis slow?



A Luxobarge to me is a relatively quick, land yacht that just effortlessly eats up the miles in massive comfort....... Wouldnt get too hung up about what engine they have once its 'adequate'

I had one from 2016-2018 , first year it was 1900 to insure, the second year 2200, the third year uninsurable.

that was manually converted because the auto box in them is chocolate, the auto box went in mine and I couldn't get a replacement and wasn't going to make the money back on the 2k it was going to cost to recondition only to have an uninsurable car again.

Great car to drive but the gearbox is a killer.

how is the gearbox that bad?! in that car?!

nice enough cars, funny they could be picked up for the same price now, as they were a few years back. the bro had one, I mean they have lost no value in the last 3-4 years it looks like. the 04,05,06,07 ones at least...

Getting back on topic

05 S350 with NCT til September (and some tax) for €975

1 previous owner. First photo wouldn't inspire a lot of confidence but provided it isn't an actual issue, it could be a bargain

lads, I have my S500 sitting outside, done less than a thousand km in the last year... now its just sitting there, I take it for local spin once or twice a week to keep her ticking over. Suppose, I would contemplate idea of selling it, as I have now bought a van. What do you reckon its worth and this is very subjective and I wouldnt know until I put it up obviously, probably case of waiting game and right buyer obviously, the usual.

But what do you think the below would be worth personally? nct due as of mid January, but I would get any work done if applicable and sell with nct...

pictures at below link, they are poor quality, dont do it justice, but you get idea...

its LWB, s500, 170,000 km or thereabouts... cream interior. good bodywork. Amg body kit and alloys , facelift lights from and rear... tax out.

very true, its the best, but also the worst place for it!

It has to be at least worth what you paid for it

if you had this thought in July I would have been right down to you cash in hand , what options are on it..

Heated front and rear seats... rear electric privacy blind. Sunroof. Probably more but they are basic ones I can think of... electric adjustable rear seats, assuming that's standard though

I remember you were looking and wanted real high spec... the basic spec is so high, I wasnt too concerned about that personally. I would only have it in black, d reg, lwb. The facelift lights and Amg body kit really sold it to me, wouldnt have changed from the previous car for it, given how much I loved my 325ci and how much work I did to it, if the merc didnt tick all boxes I had. I'm shallow and care for the outer beauty, you care more what's inside it seems:)

1200 tax on these

Pictures don't do it justice.

That's cheaper than what they sell for privately

Yeah for a car that will likely have a 1 year warranty, it's really not a bad price at all.

Pity about the boot size. But really think for me at least, the extra tax on the LS460 at half the price is a better way to go.
