Hi,
A long time ago I wanted to own a R129 and came here for advice, but that didnt happen (Bloody kids, take all your money !)
Anyway, Im activly now looking again.
Im intrested in these examples:
Mercedes SL 300 SL Only 66k Miles! Total History Appreciating Classic! | eBay
Going to view saturday. Just reduced from 10,995 (way over priced?) to 8,995
Mercedes SL300 SL 300 SL | eBay
Viewed last week, looks clean but no servcie history. Its had some paint. Dealer says it came from middle east a few years ago. MOT checker conforms milage for last few years in UK.
Mercedes-Benz SL Class 3.0 2dr
Just spoke with dealer, again no servcie history, but MB Stockport looked after it for some years so they may be able to confirm. I do like the thought of the 24 valve engine
This car is along way for me to go and see.
Any opinoins out there ? Does anyone here know these cars ? Should I really expect, or demeand a perfect service history for cars at this price point ? Buy on condition not milage being the old saying.
Im pretty handy with the spanners but would really want a MB guy to check a potential purchase over first. There is a local MB independant specilist near me who can check out cars for £250 a go.
And yes, for some reason I just like the early white examples !
Thanks
