Crystal-encrusted Mercedes sells for a staggering £154,600 on eBay


The bling CLS 350 has over one MILLION Swarovski crystals, and was originally worth just £25k. Some cash raised from the sale will go to Manchester Dogs' Home

A rich Russian student has sold her crystal-encrusted Mercedes on eBay for almost £155,000 - and has pledged to donate 10% of the proceeds to Manchester Dogs' Home.

Glam Daria Radionova made a whopping £154,600 by selling the blinged-up car - despite experts claiming it is only worth £25,000.

Some 28 bids were placed on the flash motor, which is completely covered in one million Swarovski crystals.

The millionaire Kim Kardashian lookalike, 20, claimed it is worth much more after spending £20,000 on the glitzy paintjob.

The CLS 350 hit the headlines when it was spotted outside a hotel in Knightsbridge last month surrounded by astonished passersby.

In newspaper interviews, she told reporters it took a team of Russian bodywork experts two months working 12 hours a day to apply the crystals by hand to the vehicle.

The eBay listing, which appeared on the online marketplace last week, shows the jewel-encrusted car available for a reserve price of £89,999.

The blurb to go with the advert reads: "Perfect condition. Handcrafted, encrusted with I million crystals."

Daria, who lives in a penthouse in Knightsbridge, says part of the profits will be given to the Manchester Dogs' Home after it burnt down last month.

She has more than 12,000 followers on Facebook and Instagram, and boasts that she gets compared to reality television stars the Kardashians, reports London Evening Standard.           

She said: “I have a lot of jewellery - diamonds are a girl’s best friend. That’s why I have a car that looks like it is covered in diamonds. I have them everywhere. I’d like to encrust everything in crystal."
