Cheap CL600

[Capra]

I found this example, looks cheap. The odd thing is, it has a BITURBO badge, were they turbo charged back then. The letters are also wonky!! Plus there is an engine check light warning

There’s lots of Alarm bells ringing with that.

160+ k miles , no thanks, those guys can really eat yr wallet.and shirt

It’s at auction for a reason...

2001 wouldn’t have been the bi-turbo as I don’t think that was introduced until the facelift.
That car is probably a good car underneath but will need £5-6k spending to get it right.

 

[alexanderfoti]

No Bi-turbo on that
@166K miles with a M137 V12, I would say its a tad overpriced, I would pay 3kish for something like that.

There is also the saying, there is no such thing as a cheap 215

Ah but it's the AMG version. It has a badge on the back...

 

[ajlsl600]

doubt you will get much chance to loose sight of yr wallet.......

 

[Craiglxviii]

Just remember the standard unit of repair is measured in multiples of £: engine decilitres... eg £600 per thing.

Run Forest Run!

At some point I will pick up a beast, I've warned the better half, but she just ignores me know.

Don't mention that LK, you'll have Senior Badge Detective JL out......

As environmental responsibility wakes us up, I figure its just about worthless, or should be.

 

[RhodieBill]

I wouldn't walk away............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................I WOULD RUN...!!!

Although the wheels are nice!

That’s the way to go. Then trade the 350 in for a 63 in the same colour, say nothing and see how long it takes for her to twig.

Be interesting to see what that actually sells for - I see the listed price is the auction reserve..

That would be very amusing.

Only the absolute gems of these big blurters are worth hanging on to.
