Pffft, I'd prefer a saloon and I wouldn't want a Mercedes and I wouldn't care who the previous owner was 
I wonder if Ecclestone had to sit on some cushions so he could see over the steering wheel?

First off....0-60 in under 4 seconds? Yeh right.
Even if it has been tuned by Mercedes I doubt the chassis or driveshaft could handle that sort of acceleration....it was never designed for it and I doubt could be adapted for it.
Secondly....Mercedes cars depreciate at a horribly alarming rate....who gives a crap if Bernie Eccelstone owned it really? That car was about £50,000 brand new? I'm not sure....but if it's a few years old it would have easily halved, maybe more, in price. Having Bernie as a previous owner does NOT add thousands of pounds onto it. And neither does the tuning that Mercedes have done.
Secondly....it looks boring...like your run of the mill silver (blech blech) Mercedes C Class estate (more blech).....unless you told people and had proof to show them it was Bernies beforehand you'd be driving nothing of any worthiness to anybody....well maybe to some stupid Nova driving chav who wants to race it off the lights. But that's hardly worth paying £30+ grand for.
