@hansom @thembmarket – did this sell (reserve not met)?
Congratulations @MRAMG 👏
@HansomThank you
.
@Hansom, I addressed the tag on my questions to another bidder instead of you (new to the MB Market platform). The image above is the bit I am referring to, my concern being the front/leading edge of the front wheel arches on both sides – the seem a little folded in? It could be a trick of the light I guess, however I can see it on both sides at every angle. The second shot below is how they appear on every other photo I look at of another SLK55 in silver. A couple of photos close up and at a lower angle here would clear this one up. Thanks.
@AMGnoah – thank you for bringing this one to the hammer. Were you the person listing it on Craigslist a few weeks back? Car looks really nice considering the miles, and hopefully the engine and transmission have some life in them for the next guy 💪 Regarding the paint and bodywork: Photographs 21 and 22 – the hood and panel gap is raised and out of alignment here Photographs 9, 10 and 16 – headlamps are not correctly aligned to the front bumper/pu Photographs 3, 6 and others – the lower rocker panel/side skirts are a different shade of silver Have you had a paint meter over the panels? Not concerned about the car having some paint, just trying to work out why. Front wheel arches on the leading edge where they meet the bumper – are these edges correct? It may be a trick of the light, they seem a little folded? Do you know/can you see if the wheel arches have been rolled to allow for the lower ride height from the H&R lowering springs? Do the wheels hit the arches at all when going over bumps, turning in over dropped kerbs etc? Could you get a cold start video for the bidders please. Might give some comfort to those of us thinking about piston wear. Lastly, does the air conditioning blow absolutely ice cold?
