R231 SL Possible mileage clocking - Checks?

[alabbasi]

IIRC correctly, there are some other modules that you can go into with a star diagnostic or advanced scan tool that will tell you how many miles are on the car even if the clock was changed. It's been a while since I used one but I did notice that on an S55K that I guy I knew bought that reported to have 60k miles but was obviously clocked.

White 20k miles car - Evesham. White 14k mile car in Ripon yes. Poor prep and body misalignment on right side bonnet/A frame which would need to be sorted. Do you know any history on that vehicle?

The one in Evesham, too many owners and the wheels look badly refurbished. Looking at the advert for the one in Ripon, I wondered why they only showed one side and not very many pictures. Surprising for a car right at the top end of the prices. Have found something now? Just interested to see how long these post April SL 63's stay on the market?

Not found anything yet. At this point tempted to wait until the winter time, may at least be some deals around. By the time a good one comes around will be winter anyway…!

A bit of sunshine and the prices have gone silly. One 2019 (?) sold at Mercedes Oxford with low miles for £45 ish start of this year, even the few that have been at auction have gone for top money.

That’s good to know. Glad i’m not the only one who thinks they have gone a bit silly on price - at a certain point you then start to consider a Continental instead I think. Especially seeing one that sold on Collecting Cars last year now listed for £10/12k more says it all.
