Optmistic R230 SL55 Seller

[Ierton]

Given the huge number of these up for sale, £29k for a 2004 with 61k miles is a bit optmistic - even with the F1 pack!

especially as the airmatic is screwed looking at the ride height...

 

[Ierton]

Does it have Airmatic - I thought they all had ABC?

 

[redbaron]

ABC yes.. sorry brain fade.

Horrible mismatching steering wheel, What was that new, 80k and MB didnt offer the sport wheel in grey?

 

[Ierton]

I suspect it was £100k+

My mates got one of these...There's a button below the gear stick to drop the height. I think the ABC is alright. Having said that he paid 26 grand for his car 4 years ago.

I know.

And when it is screwed it goes "high"

You wouldnt drive it or take the pics like that unless it was broken or you were a fool... mind you the seller looks to be a fool with that price..

The button raises the height. The car is at its lowest normally, although it can drop another few mm automatically dependant on speed

"£4000 disc/pad renewal all round"

Is that right ? - it's a lot of money by even MB standards

 

[Ierton]

Not sure - F1 pack doesn't have carbon ceramics does it?

 

[Palfrem]

AHA! I think it may do, which accounts for the price

 

[Ierton]

If anything the price should be lower - no-one wants CC maintenance!

I think brian might have that car for a while.

Mid to heavy teens max I would have thought now...

 

[Ierton]

It's probably worth £22k at a push - certainly nowhere near what he's asking.

The F1 pack has floating discs, similar brakes to the CL63/C63PP. £900ish per disc so the job at MB is probably around £3k.

 

[Ierton]

£750 each for the fronts, £650 rears. Having been looking at a CL63 I was quite surprised. I had floating discs on the M6 but they were leass than £1k for all four.
