How to ruin a car

[Mercky]

And look like a total bellend www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Silver-Mercedes-CL500-CL55-2000...

A little harsh... Yeah, the common badge engineering, some stick on ste and the suspension is set too high, but all easily fixed. Going by the list of work/maintenance done, its probably in better shape than many out there. It's nearly 20 years old...

Did this guy upset you?

[Zarco]

I agree with Merky.

I agree with Utterpiffle.
Car looks absolutely fine and seems to be well maintained.
There are far more deserving things in life to get irrationally upset about.

If it was well maintained I'd want it to have a valid current MOT.....

I think if you do it yourself, it's not called 'badge engineering'.

MOT expiry is stated as November 2020.
Would this be acceptable to you?

Looks like it would make a fantastic off roader with all that ground clearance.

That depends on whether you believe what you read in an advert written by the seller, or use the gov.uk MOT history checking service

Well spotted....I just checked that myself and it expired on 12th September..
I can only assume that the November 2020 expiry as stated will be a brand new MOT provided by the seller for whoever buys it.
