"The whole world has been playing musical chairs and now the music has stopped, so whatever car or house you've got now that's it. For life" That's fairly similar to Jeremy Iron line about the financial crash in the movie "Margin Call" Maybe the musical chairs analogy was a popular phrase during the time of the great recession, as a quick and easy way to explain it.
Everyone was playing hot potato, but instead of some imaginary threat, it was a very real financial bomb that could explode at any time and when it would, it would be a global catastrophe. Except the game was so profitable nobody really wanted to quit once they started and playing along seemed better than stopping the game once it started.

£16k for a 4 year old Mercedes CL600...... Seriousl.!?? Dude must be desperately gullible to sell for that, you could part the car out for more than that! lol
Sure but also the UK and Ireland have the problem that they have to sell their cars in their own market. When Italy and Spain are hit, they sell their cars to Germany, the Netherlands or Sweden (if they want them). With the steering wheel on the wrong side there is no other market close by to sell it to (if you ignore a few small islands).
The CL is one of the fastest depreciating cars in the UK market. They were usually bought by people like investment bankers making 6-7 figures a year who got a new car every 3-4 years and just sold the old one for whatever they could get, but the second hand market for a two door, 2 ton MB that does 15mpg and costs 2500£ to service is very small.
@@BigUriel I can understand the whole running costs thing limiting the number of potential buyers but that applies equally to any Porsche, Aston, Ferrari, Maserati etc. and yet you don't see them on the used market for 1/5 of their new price after a few years.... Likewise the S-Class on which the CL is based, ok it does depreciate, but not like that!

Awesome thing here... big engines and low horsepower make the perfect match for an engine that may do 500.000 with only minor problems
