This car needs some TLC but it has really nice potential. The MSRP on this vehicle was about $80,000. Kelley Blue Book currently values this car at $17,260. Here is your chance to own this car for a lot less. This is a NO RESERVE auction. The highest bidder will own this car. However this car is for sale locally and can be sold at any moment, so we reserve the right to end the auction early. This SL500 runs really good. The engine is strong and the transmission shifts nicely. The power soft top works properly. PLEASE NOTE: We have a matching Hardtop that can be purchased for an additional $400 above the winning bid. The winning bid does not come with the Hardtop. The body is nice and straight and the car has been repainted recently. Now for the bad. Somebody stole a few items off the car. The sun visors and the mirrors are missing. The console lid is gone. The stereo turns on but there is no amplifier. The A/C buttons light up but the fan doesn't blow. The seat belt light stays on even after you put your seat belt on. The spare tire is gone. Please take a look at the photos to see what is there and what is missing. The car can be driven and many of the items can be purchased here on ebay for cheap. We just don't have the time to mess around with it. There will be a $55 doc fee and a $135 auction services fee added to the winning bid. There is no exceptions. California residents will also be charged sales tax, registration and smog fees. We require a $250 deposit within 24 hours via paypal, bankwire or cash in person. The balance must be paid within 7 days via cashiers check, bankwire or cash in person. Paypal will only be accepted for the deposit. Vehicle and title will only be released once payment clears our bank. If you need help with financing, please contact us at 714.538.6444 before bidding.

Our location gives us the ability to offer customers across the country the opportunity to buy a California car from a trusted online seller. Why is a California car desirable? Harsh weather conditions cause all sorts of problems, both seen and unseen. In some states, finding cars buried under a pile of snow is common. Things such as salty roads, snow, ice and rain will cause rust and excessive wear on your cars metal components. Cold weather can also cause many problems with today's engines and electrical components. Looking for a convertible? Convertibles in many states will often sit for months at a time. California cars are driven and maintained year round. Looking for a 4x4 or AWD vehicle? These types of vehicles have very hard lives in some states. Harsh weather conditions not only create problems with how your car operates, it will also effect your cars appearance. It might be from salt, snow, rain, hail, rocks, potholes and floods or from something as simple as muddy shoes or wet clothes. The reasons for considering a California car can go on and on. This is where we step in. We sell about 80% of our cars to out of state buyers. We can create a simple buying experience and can help have your new car delivered right to your front door. If you want to fly in, we are located just minutes away from Orange County/Santa Ana Airport. We would be more than happy to shuttle you to our facility. Thank you for visiting our website and we look forward to making your next purchase as simple as possible.
