At least the price is moving in the right direction

This one didn't do very well considering it was asking £13k just a few month ago. Think a few coupe owners would like to think they are worth more than they actually are, me included.....but they aren't

Personally it didn't appeal to me, to heavily modified and interior, in one word... ugly. I wouldn't of paid half the price it went for. Now if it had been unmodified or slightly modified in excellent condition I might of paid £13k.

No mention of History at all and add to this a not particularly attractive mileage .... then for the original asking price (though we know mileage it's not an issue, others don't), it's not looking great.

Modded to high BHP and not forged. Personally, max i'd go is 300 - 320 without doing something to the internals.

No mention of mapping, which will not help the engine. No idea how long its been running this power either,

Non factory colour, non standard body kit (in part), non standard interior and wheels and it seems hubs also. Built in a Mercedes Garage? Cost a fortune to put back to standard, I could go on...

Why would anyone want to buy this at over 5K? This one is not worth the old asking price IMO. Others are, and will be as demand for decent original examples, with good history, in great condition is dwindling rapidly. As those looking to buy are finding out ...... nothing decent is coming up for sale really!

At the end of the day, a car is only worth what someone is willing to pay. As as numbers decrease of well kept original examples, prices inevitably go up. Which brings us back to the first sentence in this paragraph.....

I think a "non-genuine" reason for sale would be if you were only selling because of a hidden but very expensive fault in the car somewhere. Or if it was two cars welded together. Or if it was stolen.

Well, I hope the car finds a good home, gets a little de-tuned and looked after... as it is definitely an unusual Coupe.
