Any guesses what this is worth ?

Supercell

My insanely well to do neighbour has this parked in his back garden (I rent next door)



Its an 05d which is very rare to see, the many car changes he has are usually of the same year, so am purely guessing as its not brand new that we are talking probably six figures, there are two 06 cars parked in the front of his house so maybe he was feeling the pinch when going for this, but its still really really nice to look at over the garden wall !!

That is very nice, id say that they are 120 to 140

**** €27k in one year!!

I would say its worth about 5000 tops , no one bought them, it handles like a boat, undesirable marque, too expensive when new blah blah, im sure some idiot would stump up the money though.
Really though 90,000 is way too much for it.

kersh is right, i would not pay 5k for this piece of ****.the looks is crap.have driven one and drives CRAP.so sorry to anyone that owns one.i rather buy a old ferrari for that money or buy a lwb s class.

Supercell

Lol, I know this guy has more money than sense!! (and i'd like to have his job whatever that is!!).

Its nice to look at have to to say, looking at it out the window as I type this.

Drdre i think you are exaggerating...

Only a crappy little 3.5 block in them though

By any means your neighbour bought a mule when you look at what can be gotten for the same cash.

I do like those CLS's really like frameless doors on non cabrio/coupe cars + i think it looks great but i know that view isnt widely shared. I'd even have one over a BMW M5 (the CLS 55 AMG that is )

iFight

right, second link was amazing, first was in the worst colour imaginable, why do all mercs be that horible piss stained colour!!!

Kersh

Gotta agree with Dre (and myself ) there, its a pile of sh1te, got terrible reviews, drives badly, looks crap, And you could have a nice F355 for that, or a nice 996 - admittedly a few years older, but way better and more fun.

iFight

Krsh, u drove one? I dont think it looks at all bad btw...fine looking car

Supercell

My neighbour is loaded but that doesnt mean he has got taste , suspected as much from the front 06 cars, doubt he reads boards

The 350's not have a 3.7?

Kersh is right, they are a piece of sh!te. Totally unsuitable for the European market. Grand for big fat Americans that like to wobble along though. Depreciation is brutal

Whats wrong with the car, i kno theres better in the same price range, but is it really that bad?

impr0v

I too subscribe to the 'hate them' club, though haven't driven one. Only due to how it looks. Horrible styling, sign of somebody with more money than taste and a need to advertise the fact.

rabbitinlights

Ive drove one a year or two ago and I was under the impression at the time that it was about the same price as a TT or a 350Z, when I was told they price, i nearly died. A terrible car, nice stereo though.

From a drivers point of view that would be a good generic description of any Toyota Lexus, albeit a bit harsh. After all, reliability would be second to none

I must agree.... Because reliability these days is an issue that seems to rear it's head after only a year or two so in 2007 that SC430 will be driving as it did when span new last year while similar vintage Merc/BMW/Audi's will be rattling/banging/wobbling their way down the road - Then go ask the driver's point of view :cool:

Kersh

Yes I have driven them, and they are like boats, no handling at all, and lazy steering.
Couple that with the questionable looks, the ridiculous price, the level of market competition, and you arrive at a car that only a complete moron would spend more than 45k brand new on (and even then he would be certifiable).
It might make a nice 2nd hand buy for 20k,

Doesnt have to be the same class of car to prefer it. I'd prefer a ferrari to a lupo:)

Maybe not but i was focusing on the price, and aside if you are buying a hardtop cabrio why would you even concider a stupidly long S class?

Similarly if buying a lupo would you be concidering a F430? And the lexus may be a lump of junk but it aint as bad as a lupo/ferrari!

OH BTW i do like the look of the NEW S class but not the last model.
