you should have replied "if its for sale i'll take it but if you tell me its £400,000 i'll knock you out!"

[Chopsdad]

That Merc's no good for you Steve - it's so big they can't even get a decent picture of it - so it'll never fit on your drive.  

[Danny]

second hand, not even worth £200k

£200,000. ?? You're right there.

Word of warning Mr Meldrew, these cars can be very lethal due to excessive corrosion on the lower crossmember, not visible unless you remove the underside plastic cover-THIS IS WHY THEY CAN PASS AN MOT- even though they are structurally unsafe.
Also the front upper spring cups corrode and can remove themselves from the car.
Plus, the front inner splash guards do not cover the full inside of the wings and these corrode badly.

Fortunately, I think the car you are looking at is silver? Best colour to avoid body corrosion.

If there are new wings fitted, ensure the headlights are secure as to remove the wing, you have to remove the headlights, and some clips are particularly fragile, especially the connection for the washer hose.

Plus, without leather, the car would be rather difficult to resell when you are finished.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but please check these areas very closely.

Sorry if anyone else has already advised you of these.

Wasn't the last one you looked at an armour plated Audi S8?

[STMO123]

Something like that. I forget

Looks like Michael Jackson's school run barge to me.  Stealth on the outside, and paedo blue on the inside!
