Mojo121 229 Posted August 10, 2017 Obviously they're all good but, you know, the one you'd have kept yourself or where you thought "you know what Mr Punter? You're getting a real gem of a car there". We sold a really nice Saab 9-5 2.3T HOT 250BHP a while back. It was just as good as one could be. Owner's club prize-winning material stuff right down to the Saab dustcaps. Proper, proper car - not a mark on it. Drove banging, service history coming out of its ears and flew through it's MOT. Sold it twice in a matter of days after the first guy withdrew. (All the sweeter that we bought it way below book) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BHM 994 Posted August 10, 2017 A mid 90's Jag XJ6 3.2, burgundy, cream leather, 2 owners from new, 50,200 miles, FSH in virtually brand new condition - about 3 or 4 years ago, bought at the block. I'd never been in one & it suited me down to the ground, a diesel Focus would have the legs on it & certainly would give better than 23mpg but I loved it - I don't know why, I just did. If I'd had a garage I'd of kept it & I told the buyer the only reason he was buying was because I didn't have a decent garage. Anyhow £3000 on eBay, one local man came around looking for a deal "cos there's one at a Jag specialist for £4500" Eh??? Work that one out! So I politely sent him on his way. Two days later he was back on the phone declaring mine cleaner, that my FSH was full & the specialist's wasn't FULL but still trying to chip £100. I had the great pleasure of replying "Sorry Sir, you're a day late, it left London-bound yesterday with its new owner" The best thing was he obviously bought the other one as I regularly saw him driving it until I moved location. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arfur Dealy 823 Posted August 10, 2017 Ive had a few E55's and ran a pre-facelift W210 7 seater estate for about 8 months.....can't get the AMG bug out of my head.... Always been a Merc man, currently have CLS 350d AMG SB estate but its a bit tight on space, Mrs keeps moaning about banging her head... WTF.. (bend down before putting the babies in the car). So no thinking of a E63 Estate..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm told these are modern classics but I've also read that "A thing of beauty is a joy forever" Not sure how that would sit in your car collection next to your Ferrari GTO, but each to their own.
