This type vehicle with low miles would easily be North of $30k on BAT but without documented service, wont go much higher.May 22nd, 2024 at 12:49pm ESTRobertlnm (5) 0@Lanikai agree, I have asked the same questions. Looks like the car was rebuilt at 1,200 miles, then again 8,000 miles later.May 22nd, 2024 at 12:47pm ESTRobertlnm (5) 0@Robertlnm any additional information on the previous questions?

The screenshots looks like was taken in your phone, does not provide any VIN number or date, etc. Are you able to provide any proof of receipts for the Top Hydraulic Cylinders replaced in 2021?May 22nd, 2024 at 7:57am ESTMichaelmotorcar (4) Seller 0Welcome to the final day of bidding I want to wish everyone good luck and I promise the car will not disappointMay 22nd, 2024 at 7:57am EST$11,000 bid placed by @miamicarclubMay 21st, 2024 at 6:30am EST$10,250 bid placed by @KloureiroMay 20th, 2024 at 4:07pm EST$10,000 bid placed by @KentarverMay 20th, 2024 at 4:02pm EST$7,750 bid placed by @UpperMiddleClassMay 19th, 2024 at 10:04pm EST$7,500 bid placed by @miamicarclubMay 19th, 2024 at 9:50am ESTTCE63Wagon (6) 1Maintenance repair list shows $11,000 quoted but only $6000 paid?May 17th, 2024 at 7:51pm ESTMichaelmotorcar (4) Seller 0Tough crowd. Car is a stud , roof pistons were replaced. Maintenance completed as car sat for a minute. What other list are we talking about. This is the nicest one around. Everyone is welcome to have it inspected. May 17th, 2024 at 7:25pm ESTLanikai (1) 1I owned one of these for a decade (total of 40K miles) - and did not face the list of repairs apparently needed on this one. Please provide basis for the latter effected on what otherwise appears to be a quality offering.May 15th, 2024 at 7:56pm ESTJE360GUY (1) 0I'm I wrong to wonder why no invoice for work done states what vehicle the work was done on? No dates, mileage, etc?May 15th, 2024 at 4:55pm EST$7,000 bid placed by @KentarverMay 15th, 2024 at 4:48pm ESTMichaelmotorcar (4) Seller 0Welcome everyone to our amazing auction for this incredible car. I originally purchased this car to keep in my personal collection. I have a bunch of vehicles, I just recently put some AMG wheels on it to really beef it up to make it look like a true sport, it changed the look dramatically. The car is stunning in every way, I’ve decided to sell the car as I’m probably never going to use it. I have so many cars and I really don’t have any convertibles, but I do have an 89, 560 SL which I enjoy driving every now and again, so this car probably won’t get used. This car is in amazing shape. I do have the original window sticker and manuals and tool kit which I will post, the top hydraulics were done in February 2021. I know there was some paintwork done on the side, but its undetectable and perfect, . I believe we do have a receipt somewhere showing what happened on the side ,I believe it was minor and happened going in and out of the garage from what I was told , which also included a side mirror replacement , I was told that it was owned by two wealthy brothers down in Florida who owned a broadcast company, , ( and from looking at the title and reg we see that it was a one owner and owned by a broadcasting company) and it sat in a garage in Florida most of the time ,the car was serviced at a dealer in Del Ray beach which all entries are on the CARFAX. This car is absolutely stunning and amazing in every way. I have not seen a nicer white one ever. I want to wish everyone great success in bidding, and let’s hope someone will be getting a new /preowned low miles sweetheart!

Thanks.May 14th, 2024 at 4:03pm EST$5,000 bid placed by @MB8605May 14th, 2024 at 1:27pm ESTRobertlnm (5) 0Beautiful MB! I am curious as to why the vehicle had so much servicing at 1,400 miles as well as the 6,900 mile mark. I know your not the original owner, but have any insight as to the maintenance? Thanks
