NCT passed last week on the Jag, some peace of mind there. I will own one of these one day

(although the wife reckons they are really old fashioned / old man cars - she's right there of course)

Up in march though so 6 months late putting it through.

Laughing all the way to your local Mercedes specialist I'd imagine.

Also, the CUT of the wheels :eek:

If im not mistaken they are wheelcovers from another merc as the car is base spec classic so no alloys.

They're alloys from the previous gen E class.

Also I'd say it's at least an Elegance; Chrome trim - Leather - Electric seats.

I'm going for a look at something in an hour, nothing special but going for silly money, hard to pass.

I just bought the wife a silly car for silly money, 4.5 petrol 4x4 German with a big P in the name, going to be hard to pass a petrol station. Capital cost is Less than the depreciation on a new Dacia for the year.

I'd say it'll be going to the uk come summer.

Voodoomelon · 22-11-2013 07:08PM

Good work! Any pics?

I'm no good at guessing games.. any photos?

Of the car... not the wife!

Says just nct'd so prob back dated I say?? Lot of car for the money!

Voodoomelon · 22-11-2013 11:02PM

Met a man this evening and bought another E38 7 series.

Lived five minutes away from me, couldn't be handier. €650.

728i, facelifted, only 106k miles, full leather, xenons, sunroof etc, drives perfectly smoothly and shifts beautifully. An absolute sin to break it up and I feel suitably ashamed, but that's why I bought it.

Some pics:

Interior is immaculate, just needs a hoover. Dual tone too which I really like:

It's sitting in my store, after driving so well, with all electrics working and I'm arguing with myself what to do with it!

L-M · 22-11-2013 11:17PM

Well worth it.

Voodoomelon · 22-11-2013 11:26PM

Now to figure out how to code xenons to my car.

EDIT: They don't need it, sweeeet.

Lovely car for that kind of cash.

THIS 728I WAS ALSO OWNED BY A MAN I WORK WITH

//if it has some NCT left on it, I'll happily buy it off you for 800 quid.

If it's not disassembled already

racso1975 · 22-11-2013 11:44PM

that is some car voodoo!!! Just out of interest does the phone in it work or is it analogue?

Small world! I thought you were up around this area alright. No NCT unfortunately, needs new rear bushes and wheel sensor.

The phone in this model doesn't seem to power on, the one in my E38 works just fine with an O2 SIM.

ShadowHearth · 22-11-2013 11:53PM

Voodoomelon, did you got it off Lithuanian fella?

Yup. Plug and play. Was the same in my E39 Touring.

It's only the new stuff that's silly like that.

Sobanek · 22-11-2013 11:56PM

Any idea how much the wheel sensor would cost voodoo? I was interested in this when it was up on scamdeal but I missed it.

Does everyone on boards now live in Louth? I did indeed. :cool:

Genuine ones are around the €100 mark, assuming that's the problem. I might have a new one kicking around here somewhere, can pick up used ones for less than €40.

Sobanek · 22-11-2013 11:59PM

I would like to see the look on the guy's face if I arrived in once his 728i

Voodoomelon · 23-11-2013 12:00AM

It's yours for a grand, with halogens installed.

I thought it's worth more when you upgrade, not downgrade?

Besides, you'd be making more than 150 quid on me from the start since you got the xenons

(And it's me who has to fork out 1391 quid on tax

)

I can do 900 if you take me for a spin in yours (735i if I recall)
