No history car, but NO warranty (similar to the one in pic)
2005, about 50K mi on it.

Would you purchase it if u were offered a good deal on it?
One of my fave cars of all time, always loved the car, but after all, it used to be a nearly $200K car. That's the scary part.
I dont think servicing is that expensive, but replacement parts are for sure.
What would u do? I dont know a whole lot about extended warranties from dealers and stuff like that.

 

Insane car for what they go for used now.

 

Can't you get a vehicle history report from a MBZ dealer? Surely there is some sort of warranty/maintenance history logged during the warranty period? If not, I would run from any car w/o a verifiable history as there is usually a reason is a smokin deal.......

 

absolutely

 

The history has been verified, i will do some more checks as i go along.
What i am more concerned with is the future maintenance.
The car used to cost $198K new.
I havent spoken with any Benz dealers or specialists regarding maintenance on those, but i will soon.

 

I have been tempted too, but you absolutely should not.

While that is one of the most beautiful and powerful Benz' ever and ever to exist, they are also from an era when MB was plagued with horrifying build quality. Having been knee-deep in lawsuits re: Mercedes' build quality from those years (96-03), the things I could tell you . . .

 

Love the color

 

+1. That's absolutely stunning.

 

I like this car, it doesnt show its age for some reason but I can tell you that the most faulty part is the airmatic they are hideous.

 

All depends on what a "good deal" is... Are you "tight" with any German mechanic shops?
