I have driven the car with a passenger and while I haven’t experienced any tire rubbing, the reduced ride height does make the car more susceptible to scraping than a stock SL500. I have not tested the car with a heavily loaded trunk, so I can’t comment on that specifically. If maximum ground clearance is a priority, the next owner may wish to adjust the spring pad setup or return the suspension to stock height.June 7th, 2026 at 4:16pm EST$33,500 bid placed by @sami786June 7th, 2026 at 1:17pm EST$30,500 bid placed by @pashkathebossJune 7th, 2026 at 11:25am EST$30,000 bid placed by @sami786June 7th, 2026 at 8:26am ESTMethanopyrus25 (1) 1With the current H&R springs and pads set up does the car sag when loaded with a passenger or when the trunk is loaded? I am trying to determine if the ride hight would need to be increased to accommodate a passenger and clear road speed bumps.

As for the hard top, to my knowledge, I’m not aware of any squeaks or creaks.

If so what were they cut to? Thank you June 2nd, 2026 at 12:22pm ESTLouie1072 (6) Seller 0@993tats Hello … The car actually comes with two tops — the original top that came with the car and the panoramic roof. I purchased the panoramic roof after buying the car. When purchasing the panoramic top, the sunscreen/shade wasn’t working, but I managed to fix a few things and it’s working properly now.June 2nd, 2026 at 11:22am EST993tats (12) 0@seller in pic 182 Im seeing a headliner, not the panoramic glass roof. The panoramic roof would have a sunscreen, right? Does the sunscreen work? What am I seeing in pic 182? June 1st, 2026 at 6:34pm ESTLouie1072 (6) Seller 1@Methanopyrus25 Hello …. Thanks for the question. I purchased the car in February 2025 with a little over 26,000 miles, so my knowledge of the earlier history is somewhat limited. Since owning it, I’ve put just under 3,000 miles on it over roughly 15 months. I own several older Mercedes and primarily used this one as a fair-weather/summer car rather than a daily driver. As an enthusiast, I enjoy tasteful modifications on older Mercedes models, which is why some street modifications were done during my ownership.June 1st, 2026 at 6:25pm ESTLouie1072 (6) Seller 0@993tats Thank you — I appreciate the kind words about the car. Yes, the original wheels are included in the sale. To my knowledge, the car has not had any paint or body work. The only item I’ve ever had painted was the front grille, which I had painted black. I also had a professional paint correction done on the car (about $2,000) to keep it looking its best. As for blemishes, there is some very minor peppering on the front end consistent with normal driving, but nothing particularly noticeable unless closely inspected. There is no curb rash on the wheels at all, and the door sills have no scuffing.June 1st, 2026 at 4:33pm EST$20,250 bid placed by @sami786June 1st, 2026 at 3:31pm ESTMethanopyrus25 (1) 0If known, can you share a little on the history of the car and what it has been used for? The car averages approximately 1k miles per its 26 yr age, yet it has many street modifications. Are there any reasons it has not been driven? June 1st, 2026 at 2:11pm EST993tats (12) 0@seller Wow. Beautiful example! Are original wheels included in sale? Does the car have any paint/body work? Paint meter readings would be helpful if you can provide? Any blemishes in the pa
