Comments from the seller
I have owned this car for ten years. The car has had several previous owners before me, but it does have a set of books detailing the service history. Since owning the car, I have serviced it regularly, replaced the spark plugs, and fitted new tyres. Recently, I replaced the radiator at a cost of around $1700. I have also serviced the automatic transmission and replaced the engine mounts. I have done everything I can to ensure the car is mechanically sound. I am seeking to get a fair market value for the car. I really like the car, and it will be a regretful sale due to financial pressures.
This Mercedes is a 27-year-old car, and it does have some faults. However, these faults are mostly minor faults relating to the body. They are not significant and could all be addressed. This car is an AMG. I believe that over time, this car is going to increase in value. The car has low kilometres for its age (175,000). I am selling it because it is a second car and I don't drive it very much.
There are some issues I am currently aware of. The front left tyre rim has some scratch marks from kerb scraping. There is a hairline crack in the dash (otherwise immaculate), and the roof lining has dropped at the rear of the car. There are some indications of rust repair around the edges of the sunroof. At some stage in the future, additional work will be required, but it has been stable since I have owned it, with some slight bubbling and slightly visible rust. My crash repairer advised me that nothing needs to be done on this rust at this stage. I have become aware of a small amount of rust beneath the rubber seal at the top of the right-hand rear door and slight bubbling near the bottom of the window. After buying the car, I was hit on the rear left-hand side, and the rear quarter panel was replaced. This repair was done by an excellent crash repairer and was covered under comprehensive insurance. A recent inspection indicated a slight oil leak around the power steering hose.
I understand that talking about this kind of car can be fun. However, I'm a busy person, and I don't want to have a lot of conversations about the car that don't come to anything. Also, I would prefer a local sale and require full payment at the time of sale, not a deposit. A bank transfer would be the preferred method of payment. If you are genuinely interested, Carsales does provide an inspection service. I recommend you take up that option if you cannot inspect the car in person or want to confirm that it is mechanically sound and check the body.
