Jim Bell Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Not had this long, and unfortunately may have to move it on as I'm too large to be comfortable in it. Its doing my back in sitting hunched up when the weather isnt conducive to putting the roof in the boot (though I am exeptionally large) So, I AM SELL MY CAR NOW AS TO GET NEW CAR AS SO FOR SAIL.No timewastrels. 1997 Mercedes Benz SLK 230 Kompressor.In English, thats the one with the chain timed 2.3 supercharged 193bhp sexpiss engine. Traction control/stability system gets ALL the power on the road.Will knock your hat off AND be north of 100mph before it hits the ground.Has the fancy "learning" gearbox that LITTERALLY learns your driving style and shifts accordingly - easy to reset if you want to set it for MPG or BOY RACER. 125k - Dealer stamped service history to just over 10000k Full MOT - No advisories. 6 Months Tax. Spec. RARE BLACK PAINT!! Electric marrows.Electric widdows.Electric steering.Electric locks.Electric folding hard top.Electric headlight washers that pop out of the bummer like magic.Cruise control.External temp gauge.Two stage heated leather chairs.Air Con (I think)Aftermarket CD player, still has the amazing original Bose speakers (6 of) though. 18" AMG Monoblock Split rim wheels with very recent tyres (apparently worth north of £800? ??!!!??http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mercedes-AMG-Monoblock-18-two-piece-alloy-wheels-split-rim-oz-brabus-sl-R129-bbs-/331247218351?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item4d1fdf6eaf ) Brakes great, shifts great, runs smashing, pulls like a train going toward a horse,MPG is actual 30mpg local stop start.

Roof off Interior Bad bits: Two very small chips on windscreen. Well out of field of vision. Some chips, scratches, scuffs to paint. Nothing bad, but not perfect either. Air con doesnt blow cold. (ebay mode) Probably just needs regassing (end ebay mode) Main beam and dipped beam function as they should, but the stalk "flash" function doesnt work? Switch? Ebay seems to think that similar cars of a similar age are worth £2000-£2250.I'm asking what I paid Daveb47 for it not so long ago:£1650 - which includes the tax. Based north east, very close to public transport, A19, A1. May part ex, but no projects. Cheers all. Any questions, just ask.

Jim Bell Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Von Dutch actually you cheeky fucker. The feedback I've had so far is that it's suspiciously cheap. There must be something wrong with it. So it's probably going on eBay at an inflated price so people can beat me down and believe they're getting a bargain. Bit of a pantomime, but apparently that's the way you do things. Till then, just gonna keep enjoying the sun and the exhaust note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I do like that and wanted it first time round. What sort of SAAB CONVERTIBLE did you want to swap it for if indeed I had a SAAB CONVERTIBLE to swap you, especially a nice SAAB CONVERTIBLE.

Jim Bell Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Not really after a Saab convertable Billy.I don't like soft tops as a rule. Folding hard tops are vastly superior in every respect and are irresitable due to engineering, but I'm no fan of fabric. I do take cash though.
