Family member borrowed it...

He must've been a popular family member after returning this low mileage SL55 looking like this...

MERCEDES SL55 AMG DAMAGED RED LEATHER LOW MILES HPI CLEAR | eBay

 

[automaniaman]

Umm, I think I'll pass on that...

 

[tuonopepper]

Family eh, what can you do, lol

 

[markjay]

It must be worth at least that in parts.

Quite a few salvageable bits there.

I had a funny feeling it was going to be in Bradford before I even opened the page...

 

[lordlee]

It shouldnt be seeing the road again.

 

[Harrypic]

I'm sure it will polish out

 

[StuartK]

Always wanted an SL sadly probably never will due to the godawful suspension woes that go hand in hand with buying one with a decent engine!

That however would not be on my list to buy as put simply its scrap. Why its being advertised for sale is beyond me it should be crushed.

 

[cfoster]

That's never worth 7k IMO.... and it would probably cost more than 10k to put right!

Family eh, what can you do, lol

Not lend them your SL55 for kick off!

 

[martyz]

I seem to remember that car and story before,it sounds very suspect for loads of reasons

 

[ItalianTuneUp]

I think a little bit of T-cut should have the car sorted in no time.

For parts?

Rear of it looks fine, a metal cutter, a spot welder and a good front half, and It'll be as good as new

 

[martyp87]

That's repairable?!?!

No way would I drive something after seeing it in that state, surely for the cost it would be to rebuild it you could just buy one that's never been in an accident before and still have a few grand in change.

Been up for sale for a year or so now

 

[Meldrew2]

Surely it's the ideal purchase for a Z list "celeb", a premiership footballer or an ex-top golfer.

After all, there's no need to crash it, it's already been done for you!

Been posted up on here before, I don't think the damage is as bad as the pictures make it look, it's just the price that's the problem.

That's nothing! You should see the cars they put back on the road in Russia!

My wife's friend rolled her Mitsubishi down a ditch (she was OK) but the car was for want of a better description, flattened. 2 months later it was back on the road with an entire top half welded on! You could even see the welds! Horrendous!!
