It was built to AMG spec so the AMG badges would stay. The 55 badge, rear lights and garish engine cover would go though.
Mileage is pretty high, but like Omegas they can go to the moon and back if looked after.
Agreed :y

Having read the description, fair dos re badges, but those rear lights cheapen it. And a set of facelift AMG wheels would go a long way for the looks...

£32 kit my arse to sort the front sagging... The accumulators need replacing.

If you test drive it, drive it hard and watch for the ABC warning.

You know you want to though 8)

Might go and have a look over this. Its nearby and I feel it calling to me. Mileage idp retty high, and I would want to chip him on the price.
Watch this space STEMO. You might be able to steal my Omega for a grand.  :D

They are a service item.

Or, you can leave it, save up and retro fit standard shicks/springs... There's a reliable, dedicated kit but it's about £1,200 iirc.

https://www.strutmasters.com/products/2000-2006-mercedes-benz-cl500-4-wheel-hydraulic-suspension-conversion-kit-with-light-fix-mb14fm/

Plus the cost of the power steering pump from a non ABC S430/500

The £32 kit he mentioned in the ad may be the valve body seal kit, as these can leak internally and externally which might also cause it to sag over time.

Buy two valve bodies, refurbish them and get them fitted at the same time as the accumulators, or fit the Strutmasters kit and never worry about it again  :y

Your trying to talk me into this arent you ?  ;D
I might talk mysef into it during the next week. Depends on my mood tbh. Im back in work for 4 nights tomorrow, so tiredness might make my interest wane.
I really want a Boxster but realistically cant afford one that isnt farked.  :(

You'd be insane to buy that, and you know it. Stop being determined to buy something, anything, and bide your time.

I wouldn't want to scrap her...

Then don't, the problems listed are likely an easy fix. If you need parts, let me know, as I've got a couple of boxes full (thanks to Terry!) and I'm local.

Ive never had a two seater or a convertible and Im getting old.

I can recommend an MX5, I've had a few. If you go for an old one and it's a second car, whack it on a classic policy, I had a 5k miles limit and paid £120 for insurance. Just watch out for rust.

As a joke, I put one of these on my MX5 when I took it auto-soloing...

Just looked again and it says Bicester.
I could look, as its local, but:

a) There be dragons in Little Oxford (the technically correct name for Bicester)
b) Its a Merc, so I know its shit

I wouldn't look at a car for anyone else. If it turns out to be a heap of shite, you're in the doghouse.

Sending TB to have a look over a Mercedes is something I wouldnt wish on any seller. Even if I did know them and didnt particularly like them.  ;D
Its off the watch list now anyway. Something about all his overselling speel I dont trust.
