It is a high tax car so that is not inconceivable...

You would really want to do a history check on that and suss out when the owners changed, if it was every 1.5 years you're laughing, one owner for 6 years and 5 in three years could be the hint.

Registered as a CL500 according to cartell. No pictures of the engine and a few pictures of AMG badges that you can buy on ebay. Not doubting that it could be genuine but the incorrect registration poses a few questions..

Early AMG - non supercharged version which arrived in 2003.

The non supercharged ones used the same chassis code as the CL500 but the engines were tweaked by AMG, up 60bhp (360bhp v's 300bhp) and 5.5l as opposed to 5.0.

2003 Supercharged ones have their own chassis code and major engine upgrades. Supercharger being the main one taking them to 500 bhp.

Many standard CL500's with AMG badges and wheels and as the chassis numbers are the same you need to do your homework and verify the engine capacity if its pre 2003, Supercharged (Kompressor) have the quad pipes so thats a usual give away and when you open the bonnet you'll definitely know.

What a fcking mong, and it wasn't a bad spec either!
I'd have dumped the dumb ass for that

I like it very much. I could see myself driving it as well. Certainly one for me to think about now

Eric Cartman

That car is perfect inside and nicely speccd, black exterior and it would be a great find, however even elton john wouldnt have it now

Would love the S430 if it wasn't for the tax and insurance.

M5 insurance for me is €750 a year in Poland :eek:
A Matiz would cost me more to insure here!!

Had been wondering that too recently. The only decent barges that I could find were S280s and S320s.

Cleveland Hot Pocket

Quite a bit over budget, but does include an LPG conversion (deduct the cost of an LPG conversion and we are in budget)

Plus taxing testing and delivery you could at 4k to that price.

Esel

£4,500 = €5,500
VRT = €1727
Travel, AA check etc say €400
NCT €55

Total c. €7,680

Youd have to tax it so landed driving for 3 months presuming kt passes the test over 8k.

Great cars. The last great S class before the w221, which imo was a return to form for Mercedes.

Got a Taxi in one of these from the Airport in Wroclaw a few years ago, with the missus visiting family, and I still remember how well it handled the cobblestoned parts of the city (makes me think air suspension is a little overrated)

The taxi driver's opening conversational gambit to my missus was (in Polish):
"Homosexuals are destroying Wroclaw". Got to love the directness of the Poles

When the seller says 'bulletproof' I wonder if he means that in a literal sense, given that its an ex-presidential car or whatever. If so it would weigh more than the moon, and handle like an oil tanker.

Not really a luxobarge but this is the 2nd or 3rd time I'm seeing these weird NCT formats.
Just doens't seem right

I think the bullet proof model was only available with the V8 or the V12.

I've said it before on here, but a friend of mine had one and literally thought it was bulletproof because of the double glazing

That car isn't literally bulletproof, seller means it in terms of reliability.

The B6/B7 protection levels that Mercedes offered came with much thicker glass, and would have much higher profile tyres than that to handle the extra weight. Tyres were available as run flats as well, they were huge bulky things and stood out a mile.

Mercedes/BMW/Audi offering B6/B7 in the 90's was their first reaction to tailoring a car for Eastern European markets, they were very popular in Albania and Russia.
