Mercedes Spotted

[flowrider]

Presumably the car owner in the opening post wanted the kudos of an SL65 without the depreciation.

Probably much in line with the CL65. First owner of ours drove it 6000 miles and lost over £100,000 in depreciation.

Which for the likes of normal Mercedes owners that frequent this parish is unpalatable in the extreme.

However for the chap or chapette that bought it originally the purchase price would make less than no difference to their bank balance. The depreciation also irrelevant to them, and I doubt they’re even aware of it. Put down as running costs of a toy they’re bored of and will be written off as something or other on the books...

Which of course is how we get nice toys at reasonable prices We should be celebrating the first owners who took most of the pain for us

Absolutely. I can't thank the first and second owners enough. I think I'd still shed a small tear at parting with over £160000 and getting so little use out of it, and then saying goodbye to over £100k, no matter how rich I was. Small beer to some though.

Sorry to all the bidders, but I won't accept anything less than a gigantic sack of groats.

That’s a pity, I was going to offer gold pressed latinum but I won’t bother now

I didn’t recognise the plate...

I also saw an S560 convertibubble in Liverpool and I know who that belongs to.

How many bars did you have in mind?

Found myself driving behind a gorgeous Mercedes and it had my name on it! Is it one of us?
