Gotcha
I do appreciate your "story" and well aware of who Klinsmann is, as well as the car. I purchased a CL500 for my late wife the same year here in TX. While not the same car performance wise, it was the same body style and behaved like a "tank". It was a fairly rare car then, and even more so now. The complaint from her re this vehicle was that it has a huge blindspot due to the roof line/design. I had to buy her a Porsche 911 as a 2nd driver and kept this for a few years until I traded it in another Mercedes Sedan. Unfortunately the trade in/sales price dropped like the car it was, like a "tank", with less than 20K miles on the ODO. Sadly but this car is in Cannes/FRA, and not in the US It would be nice to buy it, take a long road trip in Europe and then sell it or eave it there or park it with friends/family. That all depends on sellers price expectation. I personally don't find it worth shipping to the US as the market appreciation does not warrant such investment, in my opinion. Good luck selling. It is a well preserved 26 year old car and in most countries (also outside EU) should qualify as Antique/collector vehicle thus less or no import duties.
Appreciate all the details. Now it is jus a car. The calue is in the car andnot who once “almost” owned it
fit.....
Do these first a 2005 SL500?
I had a 2005 of this car in silver. Sold it a bit prematurely in exchange for a Jeep Wrangler. Unfortunately the values on these sink like a rock and Mercedes dealers do not support(trade value) the AMG brand after the car hits 5 years or 50k on the odo. But it is a fun and fast toy.
I would appreciate some more info regarding status of suspension on the vehicle. When and if were the struts replaced? What brand is the suspension and have they been replaced (front and rear)? What is the current condition of the suspension both front and rear.
How is the suspension on the car? Is it coil-over? It seemed s bit soft on the first speed bump.? Any new suspension parts?
Thank you for your detailed answer. I totally appreciate the point about reliability.
The instrumentation looks like it has been replaced (from a 55 or 63AMG)? Is that correct, or was this an option when new? What year and at what mileage were all the performance upgrades done? Any documentation available? What year and at what mileage were all the front end suspension repairs done? Is there any “sweating” or leaks from the rear suspension. Does the ABC light ever come on in bumps or high speed/curves?
Sorry, I had missed the info re upgraded throttle body in the description. It is there! Thank you.
Is there a Dyno sheet after the engine modifications. Any estimate on new hp and torque? Has the throttle body been upgraded? Is the ECU re-tuned with upgrades?
Thanks for all your responses. I i understand you are a Lady. Now it is all faith for me if I get the car. I am on BBC a B limited budget, but would move to continue to take care of your car.!
Thank you for your response.
Is there no problem with yhe other 3 leaking or the ABC light coming on in hard bumps?
Thank you. I will take the oil.😜 If I should win the car of course. I am an avid collector anf]d have several MB, also older SL’s. I change oil every year as I hardly drive them at all, and mileage dont count. Oil gets expensive in volume. Some of my trucks take 13 qts. I have severall trucks also, some from the 60’s and 70’s. So I got my own lift and shop with a mechanic and we do everything ourselves, including ABC system repairs and head gaskets. Have you repaired/replaced the hydraulic suspension on this car? Have you replaced the hydraulic pump? If so what year and mileage?
Looks like the hydraulic suspension has been replaced. Is this correct and were all 4 corners replaced? Where was this work? Was the pump also replaced for the ABC system. Are these repairs under warranty? Btw you can get a paper plate from your local dmv to go fix the sound system if it is such a quick easy fix. First time I have seen anybody take out the head lights to show detailing of vehicle. Have you adjusted the headlights after removing and re-installing the bi-xenon headlights? Lastly, what was the extent of the accident/repairs in 2010?
Why is the engine gasket oil leak repair kit and all the oil in your trunk?
How does s V8 become a V12? Cloning! Hahaha I am bidding on the car and the first thing I would do was to rip the fake badging off!
Explain that!
Does the owner have an estimate to repair yhe sound system?
Is’s a 500 V8! Not a 600 V12! Did Napoleon walk by?!Lol
Is this not enough to meet hour reserve? This plus charges for shipping and fees? Cone on?
Listen guys, Negative comments from people that are not even bidding is stupid. “I dont like your wife either”! It is all about personal views and interest. If you dont like the car then save your comments. If you have specific info of interest to share, come on,,,,, This car is unique, and that is why I an interested. As a car collector I choose not to buy mainstream cars, if possible. The undercarriage shows the car has been in the East and has a lot of surface rust. This car is by no means a show condition vehicle. Take off the “lipstick” and you have a basic 2001 600cl. Nothing had been done to engine, brakes suspension or exhaust. The suspension is hydraulic and cost about 1Grand ea corner, plus the pump and all labor. I have replaced these on several cars from the same era (Mercedes SL’s as well as Jaguars). As selective as I am I am aware of the cost of ownership of something like this. If you are not, dont bid. I actually dislike the color and would prefer a paint job. But the Lorinzer body kit and the sound system is awesome. So I will see you guys down the road. The car does have potential, such as bi-turbo upgrade with cold air intake and new ceramic headers and exhaust.
