Third owner, and NCT is up in March.
NCT Due Date : 21/03/2021
So am guessing it was either put through an NCT and was backdated, or it was put through a year ago and
"Been in dry storage for two years"
because there's something costly that will need repairing if you intend to drive it often?

I dislike dealers that call themselves a "private seller" to avoid having to give any warranty.

I didn't cop he was a dealer until I read your post, tbh it's a car I wouldn't give a second thought too even if it was in the Bangernomics thread. It's neither here nor there.

Looking at the rest of your man's stock that he has up for sale doesn't exactly inspire confidence either to put it mildly. Looks like a selection of trade ins that would be bought in bulk for peanuts.

I drove an auto one of them for a few weeks as a loaner from a garage. It was awful to drive.

We've reached a new nadir when a Peugeot 3008 is touted as a Luxobarge.

looks nice to my eyes

Has anyone posted this before?: https://deanemotors.ie/product/bmw-e32-750il/

I'm finding it very difficult to not throw caution to the wind on it! Like is there any sense in updating a 5 series instead of just buying this?! I suppose the 12 mpg might be the only reason.

I'm shocked to say, that seems like decent value

KevRossi · 20-02-2021 07:40PM

Looks decent value if its Irish and NCT'd. You'll save money long term over the 5-series when all costs are factored in. Might possibly sell it at a profit. Repairs are handy enough for a 'traditional' mechanic. You might not be able to afford to run a 12 cylinder in a few years time, so I'd bite if I was you.

You'll get around 12-14l/100 km with a light foot (19-22 mpg) on an open road

15-17//100 km with normal driving to pushing it on a bit (16-18 mpg)

Hammer it and you'll go as low as 22 l/100km or 13 mpg.

Striped floor mats in that are lovely. Be tempted to get a set for my car, but they'd need to be black/grey or black/silver

I think that's just the way you hoover/brush it.

Ha, just Googled them and saw the trick to get them striped, may just be solid mats. They're very distinctive in that car.

Seriously????? Luxobardge??????

It ain't one and far from ever been one....

Go look up the meaning, it's the like of jags, 7series, S class mercs etc etc....

The pug c7 may fall into the category sometimes but very scarce and tend to be trouble.....

That car is the epitome of what a luxobarge isn’t, at the very least a luxobarge should be a automatic and have leather seats.

More barge less chat!

S350, NCT 08/21, €2,950 . Comes with 3 months tax worth about €450. From a dealer so should be a warranty on it. Decent tyre brand on it gives some hope. Prices for good ones of these are bottoming out IMO.

I realise the irony due to my own barge... But why did every single person in Ireland that bought a barge from 2005-2011 choose either silver, navy or black

Don't think many of them were offered in too many other colours to be fair. Black and silver do suit them. You wouldn't find the range of colors on a Clio or a Qashqai on them.

I Was VB · 21-02-2021 05:25PM

I remember the father had a W140 in almandine red, I loved the car for its colour alone.

I personally wouldn't buy a barge outside of a darker blue or black, black being the absolute preference. I think its the right colour for a chauffeur/ diplomatic / presidential grade vehicle.

L-M · 21-02-2021 07:17PM

I sold Land Rover from 07-10 and the “palette” of colours available were literally black, versions of black, dark green, silver and maybe a metallic red.

I agree, black or dark/navy blue really is the best colour for any barge.

That said, one of my old 7 series' was a former diplomatic car and came in this lovely light blue. Not sure what its called, but I thought it looked very classy.

Irish reg 760Li, tiny miles, jap import, €20k

Cool car. Would be nice to know exactly what options it has and what's missing. Ventilated seats are the first thing I see missing, and night vision.

was probably built for southern Japan, has extended rear aircon but not heating, wouldn't be shocked if it lacked heated seats too, but it has radar cruise and almost everything else, the rear view mirror also has the extra indicators which I believe flash up when you go through a toll bridge etc.. there.

landmarkjohn · 21-02-2021 08:32PM

I'd pay just to stand beside that 760 and listen to it:o:D that V12 fills the engine bay nicely.

PM your postcode there John and I'm sure we'll be able to work out a reasonable long term rate.

It does look fantastic - so much better than the Merc one to be fair which is even less intersting looking with the plactics off.

Nice bus...I know it's overpriced but you think this thread?
