What kind of deal is this
I did a silly thing today. I test drove a SL500. It was a 98 Sport, with AMG wheels with only 24K. The mercedes dealer wants $32,000 for it, and say the'll starmark it for a year.
The car is right off a lease which came in last night. The dealer is going to sell it back to 'mercedes' for fix up then auction. I drove it. It was; well a SL 500 ;-) But the front end shiverered a little as we approached 80. Otherwise, it was dirty, not having gone through the 'cleanup or starmark checkout. So, what kind of deal is this? THanks David

Sounds reasonable to me. Bought mine early this year for 31K with 31K on it and a year of Starmark. I haven't regretted it for a second. Just love the car.

Sounds like a good deal. I paid about US$40k for my 1999 SL500 with 48k miles back in March 2003.
Make sure it hasn't had a front end whack. You need to satisfy yourself that the "shiver" is nothing serious. Best way to check for accident damage is to look for panel joints under the bonnet and check the little date stamps on the plastic parts at the front to see they are consistent with the build date. You can do the same with the rear lights, too.
