300k car impounded

[RGVFAST]

300k seems a bit steep? surely it couldnt be more then 20k.

i wonder if reporters bother to research anything they write.

Just spotted that and was thinking the same! Maybe wrong picture.

[TJ]

Maybe they meant 30 not 300

[skidkid]

even CLk black's are only 180k...

[RGVFAST]

Perthnow have just ninja changed the photo

[GhostFc3s]

Hahaha such douches, was going to post the same story.
The original photo was of a mid 2000s S or E series merc, maybe AMG, im not much of a Merc Trainspotter so couldnt tell exact model.
It was clearly worth about 70k max, but nobody would click on that link would they...

[Joe]

I very much doubt it was a Kleeman built Mercedes that got impounded, as per the photo.

[Ryan1080]

Trust Perthnow with facts, figures and images shown are correct... not likely!

[Brockas]

If it was a CLK Black series, $300k is about right... then again if you read PerthNOW for it's journalistic accuracy, then you're the idiot.

If its the black series, must be the one with the phat wing.

[Azrian]

It looks to be a CLK Black. 2008 models are around the 200k.

Probably meant its new price in 2008 was 300k.

[Azrian]

Then if it is a kleenman modded clk well it will be in the +250k price range

[Azrian]

hahahaha its now been changed to 80k. Definitely not a black series.

[Azrian]

caption under the photo still says 300k. Fucking perth now at it again. Good job guys.

This picture shows a Mercedes. In related news, a Mercedes has been impounded.

Perth Now, biggest joke in today's media... Now that's saying something!! Hahahaha

[V70R]

I wonder if there were 3 Chinese officials in the original photo?

[DRKWRX]

car in picture left hand drive lol

[Turbo2.6L]

"A $80,000..."

Don't these clowns proof read before clicking 'SUBMIT'?? First sentence, first word ffs!!


*An $80,000

[mr_mike]

Gotta b first to break a story, fact checking is for losers!

[Ryan1080]

What's interesting is that we can all spot the bullshit very easily in these sorts of articles, since we have a fairly good idea about cars and how much they cost and all that.

Given such pathetic standard of journalism, what frightens me is how often do they fuck up other articles on serious issues, with no way for us to tell what they've fucked up, and hence clouding people's true view of the truth. Even when they fuck up figures, this can make or break the story, after all this article probably wouldn't have made the news if they knew the real price of the car is 60 or 80K. 300K is unique, slow news day and all, has the potential to gain interest. 80K is no news. Same goes for anything else they write, make a mountain out of a molehill and you got a story...

Shits me off!

[Doctor Chimargo the Dog]

LOL.AT.KLEEMAN!!!


Stupid pingpingpingpings

[Fozzy]

Its all about Page Views and Advertising. Not the facts.

Online Journalist are nothing but glorified bloggers these days.

[R3N]

The car is owned by the Southpoint Star car dealership in Mandurah and is a 2011 Mercedes C-Class.

CSB - The pigs have a hand-held radar and hide amongst the trees in the median strip on Willmott Drive. Fairly long stretch of road and is an unmarked dual carriageway as well. Was in my mates Supra years ago when he lost his licence for doing 140kmh on the same road not long before hoon law legislation started. $1500 fine and 6 month suspension.

[shifted]

They do the same on Charles St/Wanneroo Rd.

Wonder if they'll kick up a stink over it because it's a dealership car, and the unfortunate previous theft from an impound yard.

Your mate's a fucking idiot. If i seen him doing 140+ on a road marked as a 50 zone that has 2 schools within very close proximity, i'd kick his head in myself. Time & place, Wilmott Dr is not the place, ever.
