I think no1 was a members car not too long ago
 
The steering wheel is horrible,how did that happen?

He said it was the guy who was cleaning the car, used the wrong cleaner but he said he'll have that sorted. Only other gripes were one of the rims needs refurb, front tyres are budget and need to be replaced, wheel caps on the left side are worn, is it normal for the airmatic suspension to be or look higher on the back when car is raised?
 
Anyone recognise one with this plate, ST55LPL?

hi did you view the second one on your list?

I did yes, it is stock so wasn't as loud as the first one, it had 5 mercedes stamps and sixth was a local garage which the dealer had done, its only done 68k so not driven that much and serviced every 2 years as a result. it drove ok, had a few age related marks and was making a sound from the front which dealer said could be the tensioner, also the badge from the front was broken so may need a new grill, tyres were nankang apart from one which is budget. inside, the drivers seat is abit dirty with a tear but the other seats look ok, also the battery is low but that could be due to being switched off for a long time, there aren't many invoices / receipts and it has 5 owners which can be quite normal for these cars. I think the latest MOT made mention of some suspension issues and an oil leak..

Are you also looking for one?
 
hey, cheers for the info, yeah im also on the lookout for one, i had considered viewing this one bit its a fair distance and from your description, not what im
after, any others you fancy?
cheers

There's a maroon one for sale close to Manchester, one of the members on here (aab / abb) can vouch for him, i spoke to him too, he know's his stuff and runs his own workshop, car sounded good, he spoke about it for an hour -- a bit far for me though. :)
 
He said it was the guy who was cleaning the car, used the wrong cleaner but he said he'll have that sorted. Only other gripes were one of the rims needs refurb, front tyres are budget and need to be replaced, wheel caps on the left side are worn, is it normal for the airmatic suspension to be or look higher on the back when car is raised?

This sounds worrying. Why put budget tyres on a 500bhp+ car ?
Where else has he scrimped ??
Services at back street garages ?. hmmmmm......:crazy:
 
there just doesnt seem to be any decent ones for sale at the mo, and the rough ones are up for strong money
 
Unless you persuade someone to part with theirs
 
Someone please sell!!!
Hah,

So spoke to the guy who has the first one today apparently had some work done with eurocharged but no receipt. He said its only been on for a couple of weeks when autotrader says its been there since nov?

As soon as i mentioned taking it to a specialist, he got all ****y and started saying how he hasnt got time for that kinda stuff.

That's helped me make my decision regarding that one.

Saw this one, i do like it esp with options, not sure about price.

Nice colour but not a big fan of the interior imo. But check it out I say if you like it
 
Think that car has been owned by a forum member of in the past.

The red one seems decent and the colour looks great in the flesh. However, if you are set on Black or Silver then sit tight and wait for the right one.
