'94 SL600,'05 SL600,'06 S65,'07 E63,'14 E63S,'09SL600 all sold, ‘15 S65,‘18 E63S,'17 SL65, '17S65Cab
The history looks a bit strange but the CarFax gives the title a green check. This was built with most of the expensive carbon fiber options and the carbon ceramic brakes. Strange that the upgraded Bang and Olufsen sound system was not included, that seems to be the only option missing along with the Night package. (Blacks out the exhaust tips and a few other items.) The interior is Classic Red, not the Bengal red. I looked at this exact color combo in the dealer showroom when I bought my SL65 last summer. It is nice. I like the magic sky control, it works much better than I expected. This is personal but I do not like the Dinamica steering wheel. Had one on the last car, I like the all leather much better.

I think I'd stay away from it and look for a MB dealer that offers CPO warranty. Two auctions on a 2018 is strange, and I'd prefer a car that wasn't from icy weather. Also, the Dealership has a 2.8 rating.

Thanks guys. agree to pass. CPO would be much better purchase unless I know the seller and can trust him.
