The Appeal

 
Considered by many to be the German version of the Range Rover but possibly better. This is a fully loaded, well-cared-for and maintained executive SUV to be proud of. Acquired new as a company car for an employee of Google and then kept by him after the term, this car has been lovingly maintained throughout its life and its condition inside and out is a testament to that.

It is fully loaded with pretty much all the available upgrades, including an extra pair of forward-facing rear seats that pop up from the boot floor making it a true 7-seater.
 
This exec machine has all the refinements expected of such a vehicle. There is of course air-conditioning, satellite navigation and Bluetooth connectivity, cruise control, front and rear parking sensors and wall-to-wall leather all making it a worthy VIP transport. Outside too the car hits the exec mark with a lovely set of upgraded alloy wheels, Angel Eye running lights, running boards and a very useful split tailgate.
 
This car has been cherished and has wanted for nothing throughout its life. The maintenance schedule has been fastidiously adhered to and has resulted in preserving this fabulous SUV in a condition that has almost frozen it in time, which of course means that it has a long life still ahead of it.

About Max Bids

The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.

Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.

Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.

Auto-bidding increments

  • If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
  • If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
    • Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
    • We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Bid Amount Increment
£0 to £9,999 £100.00
£10,000 to £49,999 £250.00
£50,000 to £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

Automatically outbid immediately

When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.

You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.

Matching max bids

When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

Pre-authorisation

We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

What are pre-bids?

A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.

Problem with your bid

Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
