singlespeedsean Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 As I will soon be leaving the sunny shores for good, I need to sell my Big Bertha before Jan 7th !! She is an E Class estate (W124 model - the old boxy one), it is a 1986 D Reg, Blue, 2.o litre auto. 160,000 on the clock, we have owned since 80,000 and we have looked after it wel, but not as well as the previous owner who was minted and had it done at main dealer, we have had it serviced at MB Specialists (excellent but pricey) until about a year ago,whe we started taking it to the local garage. It is a great car, Blue in colour, 7 seater, grey Leather seats and electric sunroof, but the front N/S wheel arch is rusty (the o/s one has just been replaced thanks to some poor parking by some mad woman in a shop that ran into the side of my SO). Also some rust around the other arches and one of the side rubbing strips is coming off. It is a little smoky, but it is only really on start up and it goes away, auto is good if you treat it gently and it will sit on 90 all day when you are touring the autoroutes ! It has roof bars and will swallow a whale of luggage.Could easily take 3 and 3 bikes without using the roof, with roof bars on 5 inside in comfort, 4 on the roof and one on the back. It is a beaut. Basically it is a big, comfy lovely car, that we have owned for years and that my wife has done 95% of the driving in. So what do I want for it?? Well that depends on how much of a hurry someone is in for it. If they can wait until the 6th January, then the price is certainly lower than it would be if they wanted it next week. I reckon it is worth IRO say £1500, but who knows. If someone comes to me with a suggestion, I will listen !! It is MOT's until April and will have 6 months tax on from the end of this month. It is a honest and reliable (touch wood) car, nothing fancy, but it will do galactic milages without raising a sweat. Let me know if any of you bods are interested. I don't want to sell it yet, because we need it, but as I said, if someone can wait, then the price will reflect this flexibility ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
