I am considering buying an SL500 and the one I’ve just seen looked great apart from:
1. some minor surface rust around one rear wheel arch.
2. Screen on the sat nav infotainment screen needs replacing as it’s not working properly
3. Small dent in rear wheel arch.
Hood came down well and no water in the boot or behind the rear seats and all looked good.
BUT
To show off the car the guy put up the suspension when parked and left it there whilst I went inside and checked the paperwork.
Came out about a half an hour later and it was down on one side (front and back). He said the car hadn’t been run for a while and it would right itself when started. I’ve read the Benz ABC guide and it could be a lot of money or a little.
Should I walk away?
Amy thoughts as apart from that it looked very tidy?
Thanks.
