1999 Mercedes-Benz CLK320 Cabriolet w/88k Miles

Jhoagg said:

Thank you for shipping quote.

Jhoagg said:

I’ve also sent a direct message to see if I can get a shipping quote.  

1995 Mercedes-Benz SL500 w/40k Miles

Jhoagg said:

What happened to the gauge cluster surround?  Hugely discolored/grainy.   Hard to believe the Florida sun alone did that. 

1998 Mercedes-Benz SL500

Jhoagg said:

No hard top with the car?

1997 Mercedes-Benz E420 Sport w/77k Miles

Jhoagg said:

Hi.  Pictures don’t show the entire headliner.  Any problems with separation at all? Thanks 

1991 Mercedes-Benz 300SL

Jhoagg said:

I agree that is a great color combination, the car looks very nice, and the driving video suggests the engine is in good shape.  There do seem to be  some problem areas. The walk around video shows the driver side headlight is cockeyed, indicating the after accident repair was not 100%. The condition of the soft top, including the stained and fraying headliner, shows that replacement might be a good idea.  Most important, at roughly 96k, the car could be nearing the point where head gasket replacement is required.  It’s well known that many of the in-line sixes in the 90’s SLs experience head gasket failure somewhere between 100k-200k. 

2001 Mercedes-Benz E430 w/77k Miles

Jhoagg said:

Back when MB built really great cars.  And so good looking too.  

NO RESERVE: 1994 Mercedes-Benz SL500 w/48k Miles

Jhoagg said:

I’m a bit disappointed this seller didn’t do a better job of responding to questions and providing information about the car.  Case in point: pictures/videos of the soft top. Of course, it’s possible this might actually help some bidder get a good deal on the car.   Personally, I just need a bit better information flow before bidding seriously.

@nvanmali95 Thanks.  Can anyone else show the car before auction end while you’re out of town?

NO RESERVE: 1994 Mercedes-Benz SL500 w/48k Miles

Jhoagg said:

I live within driving distance of this car, and have asked the seller directly if I could look at the car before the end of auction.  I have not yet received any response from the seller.

Jhoagg said:

Need to see operation of the soft top.  Did I miss it somewhere?

1995 Mercedes-Benz SL500 w/44k Miles

Jhoagg said:

Looks like nice car and great color. 

1995 Mercedes-Benz SL500 w/44k Miles

Jhoagg said:

Looks like it did.  Shows as sold. 

1995 Mercedes-Benz SL500 w/44k Miles

Jhoagg said:

I’d love to know if that high bid hit the reserve. 

1995 Mercedes-Benz SL500 w/44k Miles

Jhoagg said:

I have received no reply to my inquiry (sent directly to seller) concerning replacement of the original faulty engine wiring harness used in all 1995 SLs.  Unless seller confirms replacement of the defective harness, all potential buyers should budget at least $1,000 for immediate replacement.  

1995 Mercedes-Benz SL500 w/44k Miles

Jhoagg said:

As a 1995 MY, the car left the factory with the defective bi-degradable insulation in the engine wiring harnesses.  Have they been replaced?  If not, they will require replacement.  

1997 Mercedes-Benz SL320 Sport w/66k Miles

Jhoagg said:

Carfax indicates the seller has owned the car only a few months.  Is that correct?  If so, why selling?  Was it purchased to flip?  

31k-Mile 1995 Mercedes-Benz SL320

Jhoagg said:

@MrJohnson.  Hi.  I apologize if I misunderstood.  It does take some effort/time to check for new main harness, but worth it.  Remove the battery and track up the main harness to see if you can find the replacement tag.  Hope it’s there.  

31k-Mile 1995 Mercedes-Benz SL320

Jhoagg said:

@MrJohnson.   It is misleading to call replacement of the  original wiring harness “preventative maintenance”.  It is not.  Every one of these original harnesses will fail.  Every single one.  It is simply a question of when.  If this has not been replaced, it will fail for the buyer of this car, or for a subsequent owner.  It’s actually fairly easy to see if main wiring harness has been replaced.  A replacement harness will have a white tag on it with the date code.  One hopes the car already has this replacement, and it would be worth you looking to see. 

31k-Mile 1995 Mercedes-Benz SL320

Jhoagg said:

Unless I’m hugely mistaken and it has been been replaced, car will need entire new wiring harness installed.  It has notorious “bio-degradable” harness.  Even if no symptoms are exhibited now, it will fail unless entirely replaced.
