Have you bourght it yet

Wighty: Not, yet. I am still travelling in expectation and performing due diligence which the members of this Forum have been so terribly kind in doing their best endeavours to assist and support me. I have, however, spoken to the proprietor of the independent Mercedes-Benz service centre who has looked after me for many years; his comments in regards to the machine are broadly in line with the information so generously provided by the kind gentlemen of this Forum. The vendor of the machine also telephoned this morning and called again late this afternoon.
He advised that the OS Front Strut was replaced on 30:6:2015.
NS Rear Strut has just been replaced.
NS Front Strut was replaced in April 2014.
Both rocker cover seals have just been replaced.
Undertray has just been replaced.
Boot struts have just been replaced.
Both rear wheels have been refurbished.
Pirelli tyres are fitted to the four wheels.
Measurements in millimetres across both sides and centre of the tyre treads are as follows:
NSF 6.5 - 7.0 - 7.0
NSR 7.0 - 7.5 - 7.5
OSF 7.0 - 7.0 - 7.5
OSR 7.0 - 7.0 - 7.5
Both rear wheels have been refurbished.
A flap, trim and other components in regards to the roof have been replaced.
Boot seals have been replaced.
A 'B' service has been performed.
I understand the machine is still within the tutelage of the service and paint workshops.

The vendor is to telephone again on Wednesday.

Frosty: Please see my post below to Wighty which confirms your suspicions

 

[Frosty149]

Sounds like they are more than forthcoming...
As I said, good luck, it's a 'lot of car' spend some time with it before committing- if you can, and pay attention to your instincts- if you trust them...

 

[Wighty]

I will wait by my iPad until Wednesday for the victory pics . Good luck and good update .

 

[Frosty149]

Frosty: Please see my post below to Wighty which confirms your suspicions

Sounds like you're in the hot spot for a deal, keep your nerve and and when ready, negotiate like hell!

 

[Frosty149]

Wighty would trade granny for a deal, he's borrowed the iPad....

WIghty: Don't hold your breath, though!

 

[Wighty]

WIghty: Don't hold your breath, though!

Now you tell me

 

[Roadburner]

Frosty: You're right. I shall start very low say, would you think one hundred pounds would be too low?

 

[Frosty149]

Frosty: You're right. I shall start very low say, would you think one hundred pounds would be too low?

Hahaha, phone gone dead

 

[Frosty149]

Let Wighty do the talking...

 

[Roadburner]

Let Wighty do the talking...

Frosty: I may need Wighty to negotiate the garage space. The reason? My wife's car will have to be evicted and live outside

 

[Roadburner]

Now you tell me

Wighty: Have you seen my post to Frosty in regards to evicting my wife's car from the garage. I need a good negotiator and perhaps even a divorce lawyer

 

[Frosty149]

And you reveal this now....
Square one guys, the op has 'concealed critical intel'...

 

[Roadburner]

And you reveal this now....
Square one guys, the op has 'concealed critical intel'...

Frosty: It would have been pure lunacy to serve notice upon her to evict her machine until I could at least see the potential of having a clear rationale for the eviction notice.

 

[Frosty149]

No wonder your called Road burner...
Wighty think prenup...

 

[Wighty]

Frosty: I may need Wighty to negotiate the garage space. The reason? My wife's car will have to be evicted and live outside

That will never work . It would be easier to negotiate Brexit .

 

[Frosty149]

Don't be a pussy Wighty, I'll do the fees, you do the talking, LostKiwi does the technical, Sub will worry about the details - it's a win win!
