Lovely, shame about the spoiler though...

I'm suspicious of adverts with photos of wet cars. That said...

Sans spoiler and that would be a nice car.

Should it not say AMG in the speedo and have amg tail pipes???? Im not sure

 

[C240Sport97]

tailpipes look wrong and are diesel like .. they are pointing down

spoiler is awful

I'm suspicious of adverts with photos of wet cars.

why?

 

[KillerHERTZ]

At least the seller will have made an effort unlike most adverts were old crispbags and muddy footprints.

It bugs me each time I see pictures of SL's where people dont know how to fit the wind block properly.

I've been away, but isn't that standard practice for an MB?

Nick or stats can surely tell us what looks out of place or not. I get the impression these SL60 models are a bit of a mixed bag, perhaps very few alike.

 

[Bobby Dazzler]

why?

A very easy and effective way of hiding iffy paintwork.

Tip for buying red cars - view the car under an amber sodium street lamp - paintwork will usually show.

Advert is suspiciously light on description for such a rare car.

Exhaust is correct.

Spoiler is not nice, don't personally like the colour coded wheels. Both easily fixable. DVLA check possibly raises some questions though

Not on MY 98.

Looks fantastic (if you ignore the spoiler). The speedo and exhaust are correct (the AMG exhaust was an option). If it wasn't in Northern Ireland I'd be tempted to take a look. Very, very good price if the mileage and history stack up. Will probably end up at a specialist at twice that price

Red SL60 for £12k

Apart from the wheels and the head unit it looks ok. Wonder what the mileage is.

 

[BTB 500]

Yup, nasty replica wheels. It would have had AMG 3-piece originally.

 

[Bobby Dazzler]

I looked at that red SL60 only yesterday, and recall it being 100k+ miles - but no mention now. Maybe I imagined it, or maybe they removed it?

Probably imagined it!!

The NI car is 10 miles from me. If anybody needs me to check it out I can have a look. Coincidentallly my mate has an SL500 with SL60 alloys and an AMG badge. He was telling me that he recently got stopped by an SL60 owner, who can't get their car to run correctly without going into limp home mode. That might explain the low mileage...

If its Registered in NI, it will come up on a check in GB as

Export Marker Export

Because its classed as exported? our cars are registered in Coleraine
