I do have the Service History from the previous owner, and our service history. Under our ownership, the vehicle has only required regular maintenance, including oil changes every 5,000 miles, and about a year ago we had the serpentine belt replaced, all 4 brake pads replaced, had a new alternator installed, and a fuel pump relay. Also, days after purchasing the car we noticed that one of the hydraulics that sit on top of the windshield was starting to leak slightly, so we went ahead and replaced both of the hydraulics that sit there, we were also told that the remainder of the hydraulics had been replaced under previous ownership. Apart from that, we have several records form the previous owner, including a $5,812 visit to Europa Auto in 2015, and several others from Nort Northam Collection, as well as Ferrari of Central FL, which is where the vehicle was purchased from by the previous owner, with overall records dating back to 2009, totaling over $15,000 from the ones that we have paper-bill confirmation in hand alone.

As a rule, reputable MB dealers and Indy's won't FLUSH the transmission due to fluid shock concerns, but all I've spoken with now offer the pan off service. March 11th, 2023 at 5:55pm ESTArtVandelay0 (2) 0@SpeedyGonzalez thank you. And is there any additional service history? Looks like there was a 30,000 mile service, a 73000 mile service at a pep boys, but beyond that, any regular maintenance, repairs records, etc?March 11th, 2023 at 5:13pm ESTSpeedyGonzalez (1) Seller 0@MBstyle we have not completed any flush on the automatic transmission, we have actually been recommended against doing that as the transmission works flawlessly, and a flush could compromise it. March 11th, 2023 at 5:12pm ESTSpeedyGonzalez (1) Seller 1@ArtVandelay0 I can have a link to a video of the full operation of the top both and up and down within a day or so. The two hydraulics that go on top of the windshield were replaced under our ownership, which to our understanding are the most brittle ones, but we don't know if the others have been replaced under previous ownership.
