Hi
A friend of mine asked me to look at a 1990 SL300 24V which is for sale for around £5000.
Car has been sitting for 18months is covered in green mould, scrapes on most wheel arches, tear in the roof, interior all good, few rust spots at edges of panels, engine oil clean, gearbox oil clean, all fluids at correct level, brake fluid a bit off colour, no plastic under engine cover in place, slight leak from rocker cover and poss head gasket although could just be rocker.
The owner was not there and the battery was removed so we coiuld not get her fired up although she was open. Also fake 16" AMG wheels fitted which look sh..e and poor tyres.
What does anyone think, he is thinking £500 respray, and £500 for wheels and he would have a nice motor, i have tried my best to put him off, all he thinks is a sports merc for £5000.
How can i put him off?
