This seems great both within and outside. Lacking night vision assistance may be considered a gimmick, but I personally like it. It's a bummer about the limited mileage, but otherwise, the vehicle is rather attractive.

Excellent. The colour palette is excellent both inside and outside.
The item has heavy mileage but is priced appropriately.

I am not fond of the excessive use of wood and the design of the steering wheel, but the colour combination is impressive.

If the steering wheel was replaced with one from another Mercedes, I would be willing to drive the car.

Very well-equipped.
However, being in a high tax rate would bother me.
Is this accurate on Autotrader? Appear elevated:

The gross vehicle weight is 2585 kilogrammes.
Weight of 2070 kg when empty

If you lack the financial means to pay the tax, then you lack the financial means to cover the maintenance costs.

Two tonnes when empty is correct. The car is a two-door S-Class.

Excellent. £100,000 new. Extremely uncommon colour scheme for the exterior and inside. Find a different one!

The asking price of £15k is appropriate if the vehicle has been well-maintained, which is likely the case. However, this should not hinder the possibility of reaching an agreement.

The Designo Mystic is beautiful but requires upkeep. (The white undercoat becomes visible as stone chips occur.)

The leather on the steering wheel needs finishing.

Very large automobile, however. The Bentley Continental is a large luxury vehicle, not a sports car. Requires enough parking places and highways without width limitations.

Red paint has the lowest weight among colours.

It is surprising that anybody considering this vehicle can manage to spend £700 for road tax. However, opting for a comparable automobile that does not need a £700 annual payment would likely be more appealing. I would be annoyed to pay a large sum to the taxman for a secondhand automobile due to a temporary road tax issue aimed at reducing sales. Am I the only one? Most individuals are presumed to have a negative sentiment towards taxes.☺️

What is a coupe equivalent to a S class? The V6 E400 is a good option, priced around £50k when new, but it lacks the prestige, craftsmanship, and typically the maintenance record of a £100k V8.
Isn't it common for folks to dislike spending £1,000 on a new brake cable? (The largest repair invoice I have ever received)

I meant that the maintenance and repair costs on a £100k automobile are substantial, not simply the tax.

That's why they are such good deals when purchased fresh. The corporation that originally owned the CL500 has already accounted for £85k in depreciation on its tax bill.
