The car is recorded on the "car register" according to the advert, so presumably an insurance write off.

Also it has X pipes and a "remap" which would put me off. Basically someone has fiddled with the engine and made it noisier.

Too many issues for me.

It’s the red wheel centres that put me off, however a certain person @SmartAmg who likes red may be interested?

I'd buy it in a heartbeat, I didn't get where I am today by not buying bargains..............That reminds me, Money Pit has been very good of late :cool:

X-Pipe is less of an issue for me as the V8's don't sound as good as they could do without one. I'd want to know what it is on the register for

Mine is plenty loud enough as standard. The stock SL55 also sounded lovely. X pipe mod is a lottery - can end up with an unpleasant drone and hard to sell.

If it has a CAT marker it would put me off unless I can see exactly what it was for and exactly how it has been repaired. I’m not a fan of exhaust mods. They sound just right to me completely stock. There is room for improvement in the suspension department though if you ask me. KW had a hand in what made the black series cars so special, and their KW V3 kit transforms the handling of the little SLK. Yes, I have that kit on my very own car. :)

I know there are/were plenty of damaged repaired cars out there, some damaged and repaired before they were even sold new, what the eye/hand never knew/know ;)
