Ah in fairness, yer man is much better than Bob Flavin.

Not much going on since quarantine so I watched the whole thing. I like his style and I do like the car. The car is actually a bit haggard with the rusty arches, bumper scuffs, cracked windshield etc which takes away from the pitch as it isn't mint and you're paying mint condition money.

I'd say that car is standing them €250 max. There'll probably be more profit in that yoke than half the retail stuff on the forecourt.

In my experience there is often a lot of wiggle room when buying stuff like that from main dealers, they tend to be happy with the first half decent offer put to them.

It certainly isn't the mint tidy example that you'd hope for, in fact I'd say he has done himself a disservice with the video, but he's trying something different and you can understand what he is doing.

I took that to mean that they don't make them like they used to sort thing.

No doubt a lot of merit in what he's saying but it would be difficult to take whatever pitch he would use to try to shift one of them Mercedes to someone who saw that video after some of his commentary there....Which at the end of the day surely must be his bread and butter rather than sub €2k sold as seen Toyota's.

It's funny you should say tat. This was exactly what was going through my mind listening to him.

Nice looking Fluence with a years test for €1950

Reasonable spec and all

Can't see any discussion anywhere about this... how is the market doing right now?

Same person trying to sell or it's dodgy and buyers remorse?

Just after I posted it I thought it looked familiar!

could still be an honest car even if the seller isn't.

Here are a couple of convertibles for the summer.

Both look well minded, and the Merc in particular smacks of a genuine owner.

Audi A4 2006 108 Petrol cabriolet covertible

2000 Mercedes SLK 200

Nope !

'The dag' is getting a Subaru Forester ( read the ad ). Dag has given driver the job of getting shut of the present 20 yo banger which is almost out of tax.

Reckon 'the dag' is a pretty sharp operator

johndaman66

Its probably on for not too bad a price all the same if it all checks out. Probably not the most desirable colour in them but hardly overly offensive either. I do love an ad that lists out the good points and more importantly the bad points - more sellers should do that.

I'm sensing that you think dogs are not usually honest.


Thats a mistake. I bet you were thinking of cats.

That's not quite true, they do give warning but people turn a deaf ear. It starts with the dmf failing and turning itself into a solid flywheel, the extra vibration causes excessive wear on the rear main bearing..... Goodnight Dick after that, the failure can be quite spectacular!!

Looks in great nick. At that price, you could pick it up and just leave it sitting up till the couple of bad winter months and effectively have a 4x4 on tap if you get bad weather or a bad snow. 3 months tax at a time and then declare it off the road.

Get some money off and more the better. Just keep an ear out for the warning signs as another poster mentioned
