Like the rest of ye, I would have preferred if the W124 would have gone to a good home.

That said, I do not begrudge the current owner trying to make money / make a living, but there is no way he'll get anywhere near his asking price. He is not doing himself any favours here if he is stuck with the car.

I'm not sure you'll convince that chap otherwise. Being RWD it's obviously 100% better.

I only wish some people wouldn't make such ridiculous statements. Having owned one, and driven many miles in an E39 they're certainly not the best driving saloon of that size.

Well it's not a UK import and it isn't taxed as a taxi but it did change hands on the 04/8.
I'd wager there is either an issue with the box or it has intergalactic kms

Thats what I was thinking, it is literally a 5 minute walk from me.

Would be quick easy to determine if there is an issue, those are the DSG boxes right? I could just be a genuinely cheap car but I seem to remember that that dealer isn't the best one out there.
Take it for a spin (there is always the sale of goods act if it's a lemon) and give it a good thrashing to see how the box reacts.

Nice youngtimer this, probably rust free anyway. Good handling and engine, nice colour too. It's something different anyway.



NCT 06/16, €1250 so whatever you get off it should cover the repairs.

Even with haggling its probably over the €2000 limit, but with 7 months tax on it, it's worth a mention.. doesn't have dual climate as claimed though. Short NCT so be careful.

NCT 12/15. Tax 04/16. €2500. Nice reg.

530i, NCT 11/16, claimed FSH and new service. €2150.

Nice colours, nice reg plate, big engine and an auto as God intended.

I am so sickened to see this back up for sale. I actually spoke to the owner and arranged a viewing as I was in Dublin, but I had to cancel as my work plans changed.
I didn't get another opportunity to view it as we went on holidays.
I come back from holidays, check this thread ans see it here... sick is not the word.!

I actually think he will get very close to the asking for this car as it is well worth it. They are rare in this condition.

E220 Coupe, NCT 03/16, €1950. Auto with a nice enough colour scheme.

The coupe came out around 1988, still a very elegant almost timeless design. No shame in having something like this in the drive and has more class and presence than a lot of cars costing 20 times this.

I think that belonged to 'quenching' who is in the classics section now and again. If I recall he bought it from a Merc specialist in the UK a few years back, but then regretfully sold it for a Prius
