Does this engine / supercharger / belt sound ok? Looking to purchase
Hi all, I was hoping to leverage the collective knowledge of this forum to help me decide if this engine / supercharger / belt sounds ok.
The car is about 7 hours away from me in a small town, it would be a little difficult to organize a PPI from a reliable Mercedes mechanic. I would still get one of course but would like people's opinions.
Car is a 2005 sl55 amg with low milage (23,000 miles / 38,000 km) that seemed to be weekend driven until 2019 by one owner in B.C. Canada (carfax does not give the service records). Then was sold to another owner. It seems to be in very good condition.
Are there any red flags I should just stay away from before trying to schedule a long trip to go see it?
I have read the usual suggestions for the sl55 once over (examples: push on all for 4 corners for the engine mounts, check every button, run the ABC up and down the 3 positions a few times, run the roof up and down a few times, look for leaks in the trunk etc). But was looking mainly for the sound of this engine and any other suggestions you may have.
Thank you again in advance,
