Coming back to the family

Hello everyone. I've spent some time here in the past when I owned 3 SLs. I sold my last one 3+ years ago and am getting close to rejoining the ranks of SL owners later this summer. We are wrapping up our new home build and should close in mid-July and once we do, I'm going to be on the market for 17 or 18 SL450. I've started scouring Cargurus to get a feel for the market. I'm wondering, as I get close, how does the forum feel about me posting links to cars I'm interested in to see if anyone is familiar with the car or lives close enough to potentially check out the car for me? I'm going to be looking nationwide as I have a number of specific features and color combos I want which cuts down the number of cars available to a pretty small number. I won't be trading anything in either which makes buying and shipping easier. Also, does anyone have recommendations for pre-purchase inspection companies that specialize in luxury cars?


I'll start with the car currently on the top of my list. If posting links like this is "frowned upon" on the forum, just let me know.

Is anyone here familiar with this car?

Thanks

Southern CA and Florida seem to be good locations for nice low mileage SLs. Mine was a FL lease.

I don’t see any problem with posts like this. Why not? I will say that one needs to be very careful when buying out of Florida. There are cars down there that have been caught in the rain with their top down and even fully submerged due to hurricanes. Good luck in your search.
