Why am I selling:Got a desire to try something new. Have new Tesla Model S on order. Current odometer:45423 miles Car condition:I'm the second owner. Purchased this from Motor Werks of Barrington (Chicago area). As a semi-retired person I have used it as a daily driver (mostly taking wife to mall and making Costco runs). Mileage it is under the average by about 10.000 miles. Mechanics are in very good condition. Interior is very good. Has regular and all weather mats. Exterior is good - typical wear and tear, save for one small area on passenger side. See photo. Caused by running over road hazard one night, which hit about 3 cars in front of me. Tires are Michelin all weather - purchased from Costco, about 2,000 miles ago. Air-conditioner had a bad hose this spring. Had it serviced and replaced at Westchester, Ohio Mercedes dealership. All service has been done at this location. Happy to supply info, if you request. Fender Bender on accident report:In the spring of 2016, I had a minor fender bender - rear-ended in stop and go traffic. I have attached body shop repairs. For those of you have had this experience, you know how a small bump on an expensive car can be restored as new. Please email for further info, if interested. Comparative price information:I am providing a screen shot of the Manheim Market Report (used by dealerships to bid on cars), dated July 31, 2017 for this vehicle. As you will note, the average wholesale price of this car by auction is $31,200. I am starting the auction a bit lower than this to encourage the bidding process. This is a sound car, classic style, great fun, and I simply can't maintain three vehicles in a two-person household. I've made a choice to jump to an electric - for those who still thrill at terrific engineering and dream of a classic roadster, here's your chance to get an exciting car at great value.
