Having nearly finished bringing mothers 280 back up to something half decent, after years of abuse, I have well and truely been bitten by the bug.
Have been looking at 320's for the last few weeks and as it seems like a buyers market I am thinking of taking the plunge. Any input more than wlecome.
Have been to see a 99 Sl320 today with an incredibly (22k) low mileage and to the untrained eye a real sight to behold. A couple of things that i'm not too sure about though: -
Firstly the car has a MB history from new to 2002 and then a 4 year gap without any documentation whatsoever. The car has however just had an 'A' service at a MB garage. What effect does this lack of history have on the value of the car and should I be concerned about the mileage being genuine with such a lack of documentation?
Secondly, and perhaps this is a quite stupid question but does such a low mileage itself offer up any potential problems?
Other than some rather horid marks on the alloys the car looks fantastic
