    MERCEDES E500 AVANTGARDE SPORT AMG ESTATE 7 SEATER 2004/53 5.0 V8 PETROL FOR SALE

    Yes, I guess that might suit some more than others depending on if you have an LPG equipped station nearby. Apparently there are 1815 stations in the UK. More than I thought with circa 8400-8500 petrol stations in the UK it seems. I always thought LPG was about half the price of petrol but...

    MERCEDES E500 AVANTGARDE SPORT AMG ESTATE 7 SEATER 2004/53 5.0 V8 PETROL FOR SALE

    Yes, saw that one. I think if anything the LPG would reduce the value these days not enhance it. Certainly on the MB forum I'm on and in my experience talking to MB specialists and techs over the years not many would buy one with an LPG system on and would likely disable or remove it. It...

    MERCEDES E500 AVANTGARDE SPORT AMG ESTATE 7 SEATER 2004/53 5.0 V8 PETROL FOR SALE

    Yes, a little harsh I think but I've had two offers there at £3500 and seems to be at least a solid bottom line price. I suspect these cars at certain mileages can be extremely variable. Depends if you want a quick sale or need to sell quick or is a distressed sale. I'm in no rush but not...

    MERCEDES E500 AVANTGARDE SPORT AMG ESTATE 7 SEATER 2004/53 5.0 V8 PETROL FOR SALE

    I've dropped the price a little bit to £4695 and had two offers so far both at £3500 and in two minds whether to accept one of these or not. The car isn't perfect or a garage queen but far from a shocker so seems a lot of car for the money to me. No rush to sell but no point it sitting there...

    MERCEDES E500 AVANTGARDE SPORT AMG ESTATE 7 SEATER 2004/53 5.0 V8 PETROL FOR SALE

    Had a viewing yesterday and a few offers so far. Not a million miles away from where I'd like to be. Just waiting for the viewer to work out some numbers and get back to me with his offer. I hadn't started or used it for a few weeks but started it yesterday only to find a battery...

    Alfa GTV 3.2V6 Q2

    Looks a peach Matt and good luck. I'll keep my ear out and put the word out to see if I know anyone looking. I know the feeling as have a couple that I could easily sell as just not using them much if at all. That Busso V6 is a wonderful thing and they just don't make much like this any more...

    Brooklands Auto Italia 4th May!!

    Due to changing children logistics I have to bail now and perform several dad duties to smaller ones instead. Well not so small any more but they still aren't self mobile just yet! Will look forward to catching up with all at the next event though. Would be nice to actually use the 4200...

    EV car driving phenomenon

    Yes. The I-Pace has two regen settings and needs 3 really I suspect. The MG ZS we had before was easier to drive smooth as had 3 regen settings. On the I-Pace with only these two settings, the more aggressive setting is too harsh IMHO and the less aggressive setting not aggressive enough. It...

    MERCEDES E500 AVANTGARDE SPORT AMG ESTATE 7 SEATER 2004/53 5.0 V8 PETROL FOR SALE

    I bought this about a year ago to tide me over for occasional work use while I searched for an E55K AMG Estate. I've managed to find and buy an E55K recently so this is now surplus to requirements and no longer required. Great engine, gearbox and spec. It isn't the finest most expensive...

    THE FUTURE vs THE PAST!!

    I actually think the 4.0 V8 is the best option. Much preferred my 400 to the 500 and 450 Supercharged. You can rev it out and enjoy it fully with it only half wanting to kill you.
