CL's now knee tremblingly cheap

Oh god... I shouldn't have done it... but I did.....

I typed in Mercedes CL on ebay.....

Anyone fancy a CL55 (non Kompressor admittedly) for less than £6000?

Or even a Kompressor....

Ok, done a few miles and potentially a money pit - but for pity's sake WHAT a lot of car for that sort of money.....

Please please don't let me bid.....

Is it coming to the time where these very large engined cars can be bought for peanuts as road tax and fuel keeps rising and everyone buys a 1.2 supermini?

If so, perhaps the high fuel prices aren't such a bad thing if you just want an occasional "fun" car...

Now, I would LPG any of these for around £1400 and get the equivalent of 30mpg and you're actually talking about a very VERY cheap motor car.... well until it goes wrong...
