This is a one lady owner car (from the ad)
the service history is not full
the front drivers wheel bearing has a very low note,
one or two track rod ends and drop down links were advised by our mechanic
Air conditioning does not get cold,
the front head rests do not work,
the drivers mirror needs replacing,
the drivers head light has faded and needs polishing,
the tint in rear window could do with replacing due to bubbling of age.
The bodywork has no rust however there is stone chipping to the front
some hairline cracking to the lower spoiler,
the lower grills around fog light and lower centre need a repainting,"
Might be a decent buy at the right price with that little lot needing doing.

Looks pretty genuine to me it's had the Brabus cosmetic kit no engine or mechanical upgrades though pretty straight and a very nice looker

It is amazing how many cars we get in, that have been owned by women, that have little to no service history, even though the cars have clearly been serviced. It just appears that getting the book stamped or keeping the invoices is not a priority.
In return it probably frustrates my wife when I leave the toilet lid up, glaze over when being shown the latest shoe purchase and fail to show any interest in going to a garden centre.

Ha ha! Mine too! But no, staming service books is not a priority. I have often had to make sure the stamp is there, as the car would be returned without..even though the book would have been left with reception!!
My other half just assumes they will do it automatically!!! No!!
With regard the Brabus who the hell did any previous servicing?? So many things highlighted you'd assume hadn't had anything done for 10 years!!

Nice car, shame it is only cosmetic stuff though. Brands engined machines Sen pretty rare unless you live in Dubai it seems.
