84k miles, very clean, now the good part, it ran but now won't start. Plenty of gas, new battery. Car was always serviced at MB dealership by 2 previous owners.
According to Carfax has salvage title as it was involved in 2 accidents, but looking at it there is no visible damage and all the panels line up correctly, paint is like new, original color.
Price is under $2K.......should I buy it ??? (I am pretty good at auto mechanics and have always performed my own services on all vehicles, including a 95 W124 I owned).

The seller is not hiding anything, is totally up front with all the checkered past of it. I am thinking maybe offer 1500, might be a fun project.

Buying a non-running vehicle? I wouldn't do it.

Turned out to be less than expected especially the paint.......Now looking at a 96 SL 500 in good condition. Why would the trunk emblem be missing?Originally Posted by chassis

One 500 mile trip later, I didn't buy it......hardtop was sprung, AC inop, brakes questionable, steering wanders, roll bar would not go down, etc.......I' ll keep looking.

Dangerous enough really, I wouldn't do that. For quite a while I truly need to get myself a Mercedes Benz 2011 SLS AMG, we can say that this is my fantasy and I would think about this alternative, since I invested a ton of energy contemplating the client manual of this vehicle manymanuals.com . In the event that you are intrigued, you can likewise understand it, possibly he will give you something worth mulling over. Kodi nox
