New Mercedes Bargains - Len
Looking for at new cars this evening I had a look at the Trade Sales site.

They have, in stock, a Mercedes S600 Pulman Stretch Limo for only £249,999.00(two hundred and forty nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine pounds) plus £51 and RFL. I would have snapped it up but it is in Black which is so much last years colour.

Seriously can this be real? Would a firm like Trade Sales buy a car like that on spec and hope a buyer looking for a cut price car would just come along and buy it?

HJ is there an explanation?

sorry Len about not giving a good answer. now back to your question - i dont think anybody with a quarter of a million pounds would buy this car, as i think they would rather have the knowledge that the car is going to be a genuine mercedes dealer sourced car, and have a full warranty.

It's obviously being used as an ATTENTION GRABBER. Big Phil's probably riding around in it himself instead of his old shape S Class limo. But the big problem is the Maybach stretch which will only be about £250k for a car which carries a lot more status.

LAS, I'm a poor student too, but this is no place for violin music.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
