Take £5k round to his house in the Opti black suitcase , im sure he will take it 

£5K will fit in an A5 envelope. I took £7.5K for one I bought off eBay a good few years back.

That was one expensive omega 

It was for another horrific depreciator, an MGZT.

Using the registration number M500 JFC (which was first issued between August 1994 and July 1995) I've discovered that the car was registered on 20th February 2006........so cheaper road tax by the skin of it's teeth.

Nowt wrong with a 'horrific depreciator' so long as you buy it AFTER their value falls off the cliff.

That is what makes the Omega such a wise purchase.

That's exactly what I did. Bought it after 3 years for just over £7K, kept it for two and a half years and traded it against an Astra H. I think I got £3.5K. The 190+ 2.5 that I had was about £22K new.

Yep. Almost any car loses megabucks as soon as it leaves the showroom.

Despite all the forum piss taking you actually did pretty well with your Daewoo, getting a virtually new car for half price.

I have "quoted" that to be used in evidence.

It's probably worth about half of that half now.

The car buying service will give me 8 for it. But it's ideal for my needs.

I tried two of these tonight, just out of curiosity and both offered more than I had been offered in PX, however we know they don't actually pay the full amount quoted on line, but still interesting......

[Vamps]

That's a lot of car for the money. Dependant on the mot turning out ok, I would just buy it. Let's face it, if you give yourself enough time, you can talk yourself out of anything, and there will undoubtedly be folk telling you why you shouldn't have it.

If I was in the market for such a beast, that particular one would be high on my list. Good luck.

Indeed! and it is now sold........

There's a thread here re CLS in general. http://forums.mercedesclub.org.uk/showthread.php?t=125840&page=3

A thing to note re Mercedes up to 2006 is the SBC brakes. They can cost mega bucks to sort/reset (they were built to operate so many time then display a warning - not fitted on my car)

Thanks, Andy.

The owner told me that road tax was/is £154 for six months.

Is this possible for a 2006 car?

Mark DTM reckons it will be £490 P.A.

If its a 55 plate then it will be the same as an Omega,changes to high rate in 06,April springs to mind
