Hi again to you all out there.
I have located a 1st September 2005 SL350 105,000 recorded miles with History and a stack of paperwork relevant to works carried out but it is currently in the hands of the 10th registered keeper/owner.
The current owner has had it for a little over two years and has spent/invested both time and monies in rectifying advisory issues that had been left unattended in the previous several years including replacing both front shock absorbers because of misting/leaking - they would have appeared to have been replaced the year before !!
This smacks of salvaged parts from another SL350 !!
My question/concern is that of the high ownership numbers and the likelihood of it not selling for me in the coming years if and or when I may require moving it on.
Do these cars have a high ownership history because some owners buy and run them until they realise that they are not a cheap option and especially if MoT advisories have been allowed to build up because they do not produce failures until BANG the bank account gets plundered because they now must be attended to with a liberal dose of hard earned monies or borrowed finance ??
Your thoughts on this rather condemnatory issue would be much appreciated.
By the way the car really does drive and perform well and everything functions as intended - am I letting my gut feelings overrule my head ?
