Considering Parting out SL500

Listed it for sale about a week ago. But getting low offers due to rebuilt title. Just a red battery icon on dash and top roof cylinder not working so rood don't open. Car runs fine.

If I decide to part out anyone going to need any parts?

To be honest, in the current condition with the miles, salvage title, and the roof and battery issues, it is probably just worth salvage value of around $4k. However, the roof cylinder can be fixed with the o-ring fix for about $15 and you should at least check the firewall fuses and alternator for the battery issue. You could have a fully working car to sell with a couple hours work and $25. If it was all working, I think it is worth your asking price or a little more. Parting it out is an option, but you will be selling and shipping parts for a year to two unless you let everything go cheap.

How much for these?



Hi there. I'm interested in these interior parts. How much are they? Can you ship abroad?

Also interested in this panel.

If the ABC system is working normally would you consider selling the 2 front struts? How much?

As Mike said, it could be fixed cheaply and when all is running fine you could find someone who does not give a $#@$#$ about the rebuilt title. Probably was resurrected from a bad engine and no issues other than the "Rebuilt" sticker! Parting out will be a lot of work...! But you may breakeven!
