Thanks for response seller. So the car spent its whole life in canary island from new? Does air con blow cold?
hi seller, I tend to avoid recent imports since it's typically difficult to verify its service history and mileage. Your car appears quite worthwhile to pursue. I assume the repaint was done before your ownership? Can you comment on the health of the engine, does it pull strong? Any blue smoke from tailpipe at idle? Any chance a compresssion test was done? Any grinds going into any gear in transmission?
Last 2 hours. Want to share with everyone that I owned a few of these r230 in the past and this one is by far the nicest, most of them have some interior rattle and harsher riding suspension, this unit drives like new with no rattles or creaks and rides super smooth. With the flush of abc hydraulic system with new fluid it rides even better. The body is in perfection condition with no scratches nor dings. The roof liner is beautiful Alcantara. I will regret selling this beauty. It drives like a German muscle car. Lot of power and deep exhaust note. Thanks for the bid tsaracco. This vehicle will sell. The reserve is off.
We scheduled to bring the car in this week to have the ABC fluid flushed prior to delivery to new buyer.
@gkgdc the carfax showed a minor incident in front of the car, i have no details on that since it was before my ownership in July 2022. I examined the car and can not spot any visible damage or repairs. I don't have any of the service records reported on the carfax. The car sits fine. Much thanks for the bid.
thanks, like your handle @r129hoarder
Congrats vitajios110m, you acquire an amazing vehicle and at a great price too!
Reserve is off. High bidder wins it
This car will sell today gentlemen. Feel free to bid with confidence.
I just checked. No bluetooth adapter there.
This is the 3rd SL I owned. And it drives the nicest. Not one rattle or squeak. Suspension is super tight. It really drives like new.
Wish to make a correction. The car comes with one factory key remote.
Given the immaculate condition which reflects this car was well take care of and not abused. The last notated service on carfax was in 2 years ago and 4000 miles ago. The car runs perfect and has no cooling issues or any oil leaks.
The car has the hydraulic ABC system and our mechanic inspected it and stated it is in proper operating order.
