Here's an SL320 worthy of the discriminating buyer. I know because I am one. I bought this Mercedes right here on Ebay, October 2008. Got it from a lawyer in Pasadena CA (Wifes Car) Garage kept. Nonsmoker....yada yada.....you know the story. Condition represents story well too. He bought it from Rusnak Mercedes (Certified PreOwned). A California rust free original that I doubt ever saw any snow or much rain. This caliber car is routinely offered at $15K at any of the quality Dealerships. (You and I know that, because WE pay attention). It's accident free, all original, Records. Manuals. Etc. No, I'm not looking for $15K. Thats not Ebay realistic at all. BUT don't think you're going to snatch it up for $5K. Thats' not realistic either! ZERO and ONE FEEDBACK bidders are OUT!!! NO EXCEPTIONS! I have the maximum new/problem bidder blocks activated as well, and All other bid antics are reported immediately to Ebay Support. PayPal Account IS required to bid. $500 Deposit IS Required to buy. No Exceptions! The Pictures are of a clean used Mercedes using a regular camera. No enhancements, no pro-detailing here. The Benz is not absolute perfection because it's 13 years old! But it does show OUTSTANDING! A car of this caliber should be seen to be truly appreciated and I invite anyone to come take a look. It's in Riverside CA. Cali Buyers.....Of Course I'll have it Smogged for you. Even if you're not from California, no worries, I'll still CA smog it. This car runs as it should and a tough CA smog certification IS indicative of a good running car, let me tell ya! I have done absolutely nothing to the car except routine oil changes since I bought it, BECAUSE it hasn't needed a damn thing. And it still doesn't need anything!!!!! Oh wait... I did pay good money for something..... oh yeah........ a Noah Car Cover. Get in it, drive it and ENJOY! I would have no hesitation to drive it cross country TODAY! Everything works as it should. There are Pirelli P6's on factory alloys all around, with about 70% tread. (quiet tire, I might add). Car comes with both tops. There is a slight ding on the hardtop. Can't see in pics. No dings whatsover on the car. Soft Top is excellent and believed to be original, but am not certain. If it's not original soft top, it's a correct replacement. Included is the factory windscreen, conveniently stored in trunk. Factory spare full size alloy rim with new Pirelli, also. And the factory jack/tools. Don't have the Trunk mount CD changer. The plugs are there for it and changers are available here on Ebay. There is a minute light scratch in paint on passenger side door near door handle, see pic. Few minor scratches where hardtop goes on. There is some slight road rash in front. Not big rock chips, though. Won't show up in pics and too small to touch-up paint. Personally, I mention these minor imperfections because I am a discriminating buyer myself and as much as we all want absolute perfection in a used car, perfect paint on a car this age is moreover, indicative of a repaint, and who knows what else. The best part of the exterior appearance can be seen in the pic of the sideview of the drivers door. Just look at the reflection of the adjacent truck in the mirror finish. Thats what the cars paint condition represents overall! The interior is very clean showing minimal wear for age and miles. Leather is soft and supple. There is some slight wear on the drivers bolster I actually didn't initially notice when I bought and you might not either, but just letting you know. Carpet is excellent. The original MB matts are there, but show some wear. No cracks/fading in dash, doors, etc. AC blows cold. Factory Stereo is Excellent. Car scored a very high 86 in Autocheck and theres no bad history on this one. Clear Nevada Title in hand. Recently bought a C5 here on Ebay and so I don't drive this Nice W129 anymore. It's time this Beauitiful Mercedes Benz finds another Discriminating Owner. It's like finding a Diamond in a Coal Mine. And if you shop Ebay Motors, you know exactly what I mean! If there are any questions, call 310.918.0956. Thanks and good luck.On Apr-17-10 at 08:15:27 PDT, seller added the following information: Clarification: Paypal account required to bid.
