I have for sale a Mercedes 500 SEL... The car is on only 106k miles, just flew through the MOT with no advisories, so comes with 12 months ticket, but no tax. The engine is sound, doesnt smoke or rattle and pulls very well for such a large car. Just had new aux belts. Body is in good condition for its year with a couple of rust patches and minor dents around the car. Interior is sound and very clean and comes with all the electric toys inside. After £800, car is in Surrey, near gatwick.

What a hulking great beast of a car!
What is that strange pull device to the right of the steering wheel? Is it the handbrake?

Can you elaborate on the rust patches and do you have any pictures? Also any engine bay, rear passenger and boot pics etc? Does everything work on it electrically and lastly- is there much history on the engine and how it's been serviced? (sorry for all the questions! )

Windows, seats, everything works as far as I know, air con probably needs a re-gas, havent tried that one though. Tis some history, havent looked in detail. Best bet is to come have a look.

That's got to slice at least £300 off the sale price.

I saw this in this month's PC magazine against the Jaguar, it looks really nice in the photos, I'd thought the feature would help add a few quid to the price as well, £800 sounds like peanuts for a car like this. Good luck with the sale.
