Were are extremely close to reserve don't miss out on this opportunity!
With a few hours left I just want everybody to know that I will be here to answer any questions. These panoramic roofs are very hard to come by and there have been two recent sales of 4700 and 6700. Also don't let the color sway your opinion as these can be changed at relatively affordable prices. Good luck to all!
@babtainy is says that your area code is Santa Cruz? However either way yes, I am more than happy to assist with shipping I would just need you to arrange it.
@babtainy you might be better off driving down here to pick it up if you end up winning. You're not far enough away for it to make sense to ship it as I could imagine it would cost a few hundred dollars. Road trip your R129!
@ferraril1971 The missing trim piece can actually be found off of a standard hardtop which is very common as every single R129 came with one. Plenty of them for sale everywhere. Same goes for the scuffed piece on the outside. It can be found from a standard hardtop. You could always go to a body shop and see if it is something repairable as it's not too serious however taking it from another hardtop may be a better bang for your buck. So if you have a regular hardtop with the tan interior then you are set! If not you could realistically find one for 300-500 dollars.
@240Dturboyea it's really just a hit or miss with these tops. Honestly it isn't even something you absolutely need because usually it's hard to get the rear window to frost up and even then just blast the heater and it should go away on its own.
@240DTurbo yes I tested in on my black SL and it appeared to work correctly.
@harry19funny you mention that I did have a set of chrome ones that were brand new however I just sold them. If I am satisfied with the turnout of this auction I can guarentee more listings here in the future!
Hello everybody! This is my first of hopefully many auctions on this website. I have sold a few panoramic roofs and R129 Sl's in the past through Bring A Trailer under the username "Brandonpreim". If anybody wants to see my work and as a credibly check, please refer to my history there. This panoramic roof will be sold with the stand and cover. The roof itself is in pretty good condition. Flaws include the missing trim piece, the scuff which can be seen in the photo gallery, and a few small scratches on the paint. The glass is in perfect condition with no cracks or chips anywhere. Also the retractable sunshade is in perfect operating condition and retracts fine with no jamming or hesitation. I also urge people who are interested to understand that it's ok if the paint color or interior color does not match. A repaint of the hardtop would cost under a thousand dollars and the trim pieces can be removed quite easily and can be re-dyed. These roofs can be sold for any color combination assuming you're willing to spend some extra cash to match the car. Especially consider the fact that finding the exact color combo may be very difficult to impossible. If anybody has any questions please do not hesitate to ask. I will keep close watch on this auction's duration and will be quick to respond to everybody. Thanks!
