LUXOBARGE (sub5k) of the week/day

I Was VB

I’ve held a PSV insurance for 12 years and being in the industry for the same amount of time, I’ve never come across a psv policy that doesn’t allow for SDP on the policy.

If that hackney driver wanted to he could charge his family €0.01 per trip and be Legal, that said i think the story is the work of fiction.

There was a story of a taxi driver been caught bringing his children to school and using the bus lanes, when stopped he had the meter on, when questioned by the gardai why his meter was on he said he was charging the wife to drop the kids into school. If he wasn’t charging the wife he could of been done for improper use of a bus lane and roadtax.

More Barge???

Nice colour scheme, 6 months test and over €500 of tax on it, which makes the €6000 asking a bit more bearable. Also falls into the €1200 tax bracket.

Or have less spec, slightly higher tax and a risky 3 months test for less than €3K

He used his wife's car for sdp use, the hackney for work only. I've been in the psv industry since 1997, not that has anything to do with it. I met him while driving his wife's car and that's what he told me, maybe I should have asked to see the policy because some gobshoite on boards doesn't believe me...

I could only use my taxi for taxi work and my private car for private use, but that’s not what you said, you said that he’s only insured for to drive it as a hackney without social or domestic cover. Your wrong and making up stories, but don’t start mouthing off because you’ve been found out spoofing.

Jesus, it's like dealing with a zombie. Obviously I'm going to have to spell it out line by line how the conversation went. He was sitting in his wife's car, I asked him was he sparing the new car? He'd just changed his hackney for quite a nice machine. His answer to me was I can't use it for doing the shopping etc. Liberty don't allow it since the latest renewal.

I’ve had 4 policy’s over the last few years with liberty the last one renewed in 2019, social domestic use was always part of the policy as well as hire and reward.

No zombie, your just getting caught out with your wrong interpretations of another mans insurance policy.

Yea if they all looked equally aged, but the drivers seat is saggier than LS430s I've seen with 200k

KevRossi

I don't know the dealer, but there should be some warranty on this. I think the colour looks alright in the photos, it's a bit different to the usual silver/grey/black on XJ's. Nice interior combo of the darker wood and light leather.

12 months NCT for €5,900

That’s a smashing looking motor. Have a similar colour combo on my E class and it looks very well. As you said, stands out in the sea of grey and black

traco

That's a lovely XJ. Looks immaculate in the pics. Credit to its owner.

A friend as a navy with cream and piped navy leather. Lovely car also. He was considering selling it but I told him he's mad. Store it somewhere but hold it. It had one previous owner that kept every single document and receipt for it. He won't get another like it

There’s a 90 thousand mile example of what the seat should look like albeit a lhd

Is there really much of a difference?
Presumably you don't think the cable is a huge dirty crease/split?

One driver could be 20 stone, the other a 12 stoner or less. Loads of variable........ I'd not assume the thing is clocked or anything based on seat pictures.

KevRossi

Seats on my RX400, 290,000 Km. I'm 100 kg and have put the last 50,000 Km on it, bought it off a guy who weighed about 80kg. No noticeable deterioration in the cushion firmness either.

But the car as a whole is absolutely rock solid after 14 years.

I’ve sold a few of them over the years so am familiar with how the seat looks.
The passenger seat on the rhd has more wear than the drivers seat on the lhd.

Anyone take a guess what this car with this spec would have cost back in 2008?

Well north of €100k, if you put the details in the VRT calculator it will give the original price of that spec, it won't include any extras that were ordered from the factory.

traco

A lot of extras on that. I have the UK price list and the rear entertainment system was GBP£3,200
TV tuner 820
Electric rear seat 1,120
Passion leather 2,100
Wood leather steering wheel 460
Ventilated front and rear seats 1,330
Parktronic 605

So close to 10k GBP on those few bits. It would take ages to go through but I suppose you could add another 10k in bits and bobs.

In Ireland if you were to spec those with our VAT and VRT system they would be substantially more.

I know this is way over budget, but these two are being sold by the same individual, nearly a copy and paste on the description

He was previously selling the W221 with the cls wheels.

They’ve been up on various fb marketplaces by the same profile.

I had an e65 up a few days ago for €2k and he absolutely hounded me about it, rang from about 5 different numbers in 30 minutes.

Five of them showed up to look at it in a Merc V class at half 8 in the evening, had to tell them basically to fcuk off because I had no one else there with me at the time.

It’s a bad buying tactic, I think the absolute maximum that should ever go to buy a car is two people. Prospective buyer and a second opinion.

As above, they put a drop of oil in the expansion tank or up the exhaust and claim the head gasket/turbo is gone and offer you buttons for the car.

A few of them will distract you at one end of the car while the others do their thing.

Guess again! Checked a price list from Sept 2008 and a new S500 L was €164,000 rrp.

That car with extra’s listed plus met in the road would have been approx €195,000

Fairly serious depreciation per kilometre
