Hilarious eBay ad sends price of clapped-out Mercedes soaring

A couple from East Grinstead, West Sussex have taken the Web by storm after posting an extremely candid advert for their rusty and unloved Mercedes e320 CDI on popular auction site eBay.

Rather than brushing over the imperfections and drawing on flowery language to help sell the ageing saloon, Murdo Guy and Camilla Banks decided to be brutally honest, much to the enjoyment of eBay users up and down the country.
