Need advice ! Im a newbie

Hi Fellows
I was wondering you have any advice for me.You see Im jumping in by pulling the trigger on a 2012 SLS coupe.
The milage is a bit high 19000 ,but I still love the price and the color combo : Black with parchment interior.
I asked the seller to do a MB dealer pre purche inspection by them attaching the car to the computer.
Also the costly service B.
Anything else I should be looking for ?
Is there a place I can find out the build for this girl by entering the Vin number?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Not much out there to tell if it's a good one or bad. Go with the normal stuff Carfax, call MB and get PPI. You will love these cars. Then bring to Supercars by the Sea if in CA 😁

I echo Newport SLS with his advice, PPI, carfax, and thorough once over by a top notch body/paint guy (because out of pocket repairs on high end cars aren't uncommon to avoid carfax dings). As for the mileage, local owner of 2011 has 79K on his car with little more than brakes, one misc switch replacement, and general maint.

So buy, enjoy and drive the wheels off of it.

I echo Newport and AZcarguy. These vehicles are bulletproof. You will love the car!
