An unsuccessful attempt to buy a Mercedes in the cultural capital.

Have not left me with the desire to acquire a vintage car. Considering the variety of options, but all tend to be more 129 Roadster Mercedes. Once I had this with red interior and 5-liter motor. Why not to remember his youth and not buy a cheerful instance.

Start monitoring the car.ru and ask questions of familiar and unfamiliar people. Find a viable option in Leningrad. The issue price is 1.5 million rubles, turquoise SL with a 2.8 motor. The seller — a ML-Service.

Call the tube takes a Manager or who knows where. All reported data correspond to, you can come and buy. But ask one last question about PTS. And it turns out that such questions in a decent dealership is not appropriate and even offensive. I explain that I'm in Moscow and I was all happy, but before you buy a ticket for the Sapsan, I want to get a photo of PTS, at least for viber. From this indecent proposal, the dealership Manager finally offended and hangs up.

Using Драйв2 find good people in Leningrad and ask to personally look at the car, and then on the PTS. Ivan responds and kindly agrees to examine an interesting specimen. But if satisfactory appearance is all the same no one is going to show the title. In the end, Ivan asked her to at least look under the hood. It turns out that just an hour ago, we lost cable lock, and open the hood impossible.

I am disappointed but hope to find a decent copy of don't leave me. And, lo and behold! There in the Hero City Leningrad find even more interesting option. Silver SL with a 5 liter engine 1999, over 550 000!

Without delay call the seller. The tube relieves the owner. Everything corresponds to the description, condition is excellent, title is in order and on my iPhone! And here the old Jew gave a bobble. Instead of having to question such a gift of fate and again to ask Ivan to look at the car, I immediately buy a ticket on the Sapsan and rush to Peter.

Just such good luck with the car, then go business class and settle in a Suite on the Nevsky. For the company, bring a friend with you, all expenses for travel, lodging and a restaurant at my expense!Distance of 800 km, we have overcome in 4 hours, with an average speed of 200 km/h. And leaving at 19:30 from the Leningrad station in Moscow at 23:30 was at the Moscow station in St. Petersburg.

Then check in to the hotel, small excursion in the Central part of the city and night in anticipation of a successful purchase. I planned right from the morning to inspect the vehicle, then serve it in service without complications on their own to overcome the road to Moscow.

But the next morning was not good. Of course, we phoned and met with the owner of a silver Roadster, but my expectations were trampled in the St. Petersburg mud at first sight.

I will not describe all the flaws of the car. Simply to say that the merits were several times less. Car was got and even driving, but only at high rpm. There was not a single intact body parts. Did not work, no system of a vehicle, including power steering, abs, ESP. Did not add the roof. And front and rear glass had cracked. Half of the buttons in the cabin was missing or did not work. I was so upset that did not even detail to photograph this autocads.

We got to the station at very high speed, because the motor worked at high speed and instantly raises the temperature of the coolant. In service, we do not have anything to do and nothing to watch. Said goodbye and went to the hotel to pick up belongings to return to Moscow by train.

Before the trip to Leningrad I was considering another offer with 129 Roadster in Vladivostok and even phoned the owner. But considering the bad experience in Leningrad, I think that it is no longer worth the risk to make hasty travel long distances. Trip for a day in Leningrad, there were almost 50 000. They say that Vladivostok is a city too beautiful and interesting, but I fear that the cost of travel even for a single person exceeds 250,000 p. only for flights. Plus hotel, restaurant, diagnostics and transfer cars railway to Moscow. So while I will refrain from tempting offers in other cities and wait for something in Moscow, although the probability is negligible.

But if someone has reliable information about an interesting car at a reasonable price and in decent condition, then write to the PM, I would really appreciate any suggestions. Very interested in the Germans of the 80-90s and Americans of the same years of issue.

I understand. That did not litter with trash and debris, the state, cuts and all sorts of other left-wing car, banned
the import to Russia of incomprehensible junk thereby freed from the "left traffic".

Omegik 13.08.19

Purely my opinion — is that of the small but proud republics on the Baltic sea began importing thousands of designers 1 of 3, as well as drownings and meal of pindostan!
Who is like? That is why now a normal car and not imported!
p.s. But the ESA is lobbying manufacturers and everything else.
p.s.s. The possession, by the way, has not been banned — only the import! And so, if the car is already in Russia, buy, ride for health!

I don't care what Honkonga or Ganduras. I just wanted to ask you personally, purely in your opinion: What caused the ban on the import or possession of one or another transport in Russia ? Do what say the officials ? Or officials it is a pity that Vladimir from Moscow will buy some old Mercedes in Europe and will ride it on the roads of Russia ?

Seriously ? That is, if and bring no sense. Well, that, bought, brought, on record set and then the machine is like an armored car like a Lenin monument ? I don't know...
And how did you live in RUSSIA ? So I normally ask without podlesok and sarcasm.
Russia's population is 2 % of the total population of the planet Earth. Only 2 % ! And energy and the minerals
Russia is 40% of all minerals on Earth.
Here just a question : Why do you live ? In your State so much money that it can every citizen of Russia to buy and just to give liboy car. Or you there the officials are all greedy, or the Russian people are so humble and patient that people of Russia are satisfied with this state of Affairs and weight restrictions. For example, I can go on any machine, even on Packard 1938 ( Museum piece), though
on a new car in 2016. This is my personal choice and my citizenship. Also, I can wear whatever I like ( any year workmanship and tailoring ). This is my personal business !
So, why in Russia such laws, prohibitions, rules of the customs import and how it lead to the officials of the Russian Federation ?

Vladimir we have got such a car. Excellent condition ! Of course the price is also excellent.
For example : rus.auto24.ee/used/161521...d=1615219&cache_missing=1 or rus.auto24.ee/used/1393939
Or almost a new car : rus.auto24.ee/used/2125408 the first small payment 4 900 and the rest in leasing at 213 euros per month.
Here's an American example : rus.auto24.ee/used/1768212 you can also lease for 213 euros per month.
Price also can be moved of course. But...just how to put you in Russia on the account of this epic junk ? That's delemma ! As the saying goes : what to do easy to come up with — Yes, nowhere to go !

Distance from Central Moscow to Central Saint Petersburg in a straight line approximately 635 km (bestbaza.ru).

On the October railway the distance between the Leningrad station in Moscow and Moscow station in St. Petersburg is 649,45 km (Wikipedia: Oktyabrskaya railway)

The shortest driving route from Central Moscow to Central Saint Petersburg has a length of 709 km, it takes 17 hours and 10 minutes. (Avtotransinfo)

However, the most rapid is a slightly different route, with a length of 734 km, which can be reached in 15 hours 13 minutes. (AutoTranslate) PS I once drove a car for 6 hours and 45 minutes.

Not clear what You want. If fun is work, and something else — and never will. It should be for the car? Where? Someone in the garage kept for 20 years? Not this. In the United States of such cars in the sale is complete — with original low mileage and not rusty. In Russia they went and go. If the gelding goes in those years in Moscow and St. Petersburg — he's rusty. It is an axiom. Or do You understand or believe in miracles. If it is really needed — take any non-torsion propeller and serviced. Still the body to restore the painting. The truth is most likely PTS will have duplicate because such machines are frequently changed owners and the original could not be found — but on the other hand, not PTS as You drive and the machine. If something is no longer available and you have money — you can buy and strip a donor abroad. In the same Germany, for example. The whole machine not to bring, but the filling is no problem. Just these things need to look real.
