LUXOBARGE (sub5k) of the week/day

Atlantic Dawn

Seems way too cheap for a UK car, of that spec they would go for good money there, I'd be airing on possible scam.

Seller has three other ads up. What would the scam be do you think?

Duke O Smiley

I sold an 06 730d with similar (but better) spec yesterday for €2700. Years test with no advisories, 2 months tax

They're lovely cars but I dare say almost all of them at this stage are getting a bit tired..

(excluding yours Voodoomelon!)

Possibly that the cars don't exist and buyer would transfer cash pre viewing to then never get the goods. The 2008 A6 they are selling is a poverty spec model but I'd still think that is far too cheap at £1700.

The A7 looks a bit ropey but seems very cheap too does it not?

Does seem a bit too good to be true. You'd have to ask though wouldn't you, it's bloody lovely!

A great colour combo.

But these lines are a bit baffling, hard to make out what the owner means:

-Owner 1 from new most UK Mileage with
-Looks and drive like done 50K drive NEW
-Drive like brand new after service new oil

No mention at all of any of the major issues that affect the N62 being sorted, valley pan coolant pipe, stem seals, alt bracket gasket, chain guides. Four of them alone could give you a €4000 repair bill. At 160k miles, it could be a time bomb.

For £2000 it would be a nice parts car.

It reads a bit like those emails from my long lost African cousin who won the lottery. I'm still waiting for my money, I only had to send him €10K to release the 20million he had in funds.

A7 is too cheap. Gotta be dodge.

the syntax suggests its somebody from eastern europe, slavic languages are ordered differently, wouldnt put me off too much but yeah you'd want to confirm the vally pan pipe, stem seals and chain has been done.

I bought an original Irish mk2 golf Gti from the seller, he is a gentleman who spends thousands on car maintenance,

would recommend that c6 supposed to be the best in entire country!

Hah, yeah I know the seller too (met him once or twice..) and he certainly knows his stuff. If I had the cash I’d certainly take the risk with the C6!

Seems like a well sorted 745 with nice enough spec, €4200

Bit pricey for a pre facelift?

Surely the number 1 rule of selling a prefacelift should be "Don't park it beside a facelift"

unless its a sneaky upsell and you get there and go "damn that one looks so much nicer" "10 grand" deal.

I think it would be hard to argue the case for that early e65 vs a well specced m sport e38

Reason is I spent 3k on the gearbox alone making it the best one out there. Dolphin Motors has three with faulty gearboxes. A mixture of valve body and torque converter. Mine has had both replaced.

I know that E65 seller well, literally no one else in the country knows more about them than he does, i'm sure its well sorted.

I remember that 760 on Donedeal a few weeks ago, think its an ex-McManus car

I just deleted my post above as its not the guy I know at all! Just messaged the lad I do, had a laugh about it, they have the same cars as each other. I don't know that seller at all.

It seems a bit pedantic but if it was 15k , black with the cream then yeah. Been looking at that gen S class, love it but don't like that blue with the black interior combo and think its overpriced.

Idbatterim

yeah the S600 is great, but it will be double the cost of an S500 (which is what I have) I also wouldnt get one that wasnt LWB, agreed about the colour combo, dont like it at all... I have black and cream interior. The s350 you are getting done full whack on tax anyway, S500 is the one to go for in my opinion. Also you are paying a lot for the car, fuel will be mad and tax we know. Id honestly want a car that looked a fair bit better than that, given the running costs!

alloys awful, not a fan of the reg, Id be putting on facelift lights all over too...

the S500 is the happiest compromise in the group. Agree about the wheels, not a fan at all. Those cars look so much fresher with minor facelifting.

Only thing with that generation S class & the E65 BMWs is the dash is so dated

far better off buying a facelift 4.7 turbo 2011-2012 car, import from the uk, 0-100 wont be far off, I know its not all about speed :rolleyes: tax is E1200 for them I believe, they have 400+ bhp... I think they do 0-100 in 4.7, my S500 is 5.5...

on a side note, how nose heavy must an s600 be?!

Lovely. No point unless you had a PSV license tho.

Idbatterim

The newer s500 is the 1200 rate on emissions , sits just right below threshold for the e2350. You get outrageous power, 435 bhp twin turbo and for e1200 , it’s actually pretty good value, given our laughable motor tax set up here.

Thanks Lari.There was me getting the suit out of the pawn to head down to the credit union, to explain how I needed €5 K to bury me 3rd. granda.

Is it not seriously high mileage for a Citroen or am I mistaken?

That's an old car and old cars have problems regardless of the mileage. I would rather handing some for 'high mileage high maintenance standard' one than 'low mileage low spending owner'.

I think he's poking fun at all "old cars" and all Citroëns to be honest. I wouldn't take it personally
