Pleased to have won what seems to be a great R129. Also congratulations to @hobbsm3 for a well described car and prompt honest replies to questions. Can’t wait to drive this beauty
I just reread the write up, is seems the front struts were replaced 2019. Were the springs also replaced? Could you measure the ride height from the center of the wheel to the fender please
Can you give any information or explanation to why the rear of the car sits lower than the front?, has the car had any suspension work or modifications?
Do you know if the car has ever been repaired, or do you have paint depth measurements?
Thank you for the replies, a couple more questions: 1. With the tan headlining on the pano roof, presume this isn’t original with the car, and that you don’t have the original roof?, should the headlining be grey? 2. As a collector can I ask why your selling?
A few questions: 1. Can I ask why have you put so few miles on the car during your ownership 2. Why were the cam oiler tubes and timing chain tensioners replaced, I haven't heard of these being replaced on SL500's 3. Any repairs needed on the car, any fluid leaks 4. The Carfax doesnt show any servicing under your ownership, do you have full service records?
