More pics in ad or email me
Car is located in Nashville tn $4500

A few things with the ad:

Whenever I read "Need - just want it - gone ASAP / today / by the end of week", that is a cue to offer 1/2 of asking price. If they really want it gone that fast they will take it. The title sets a bad tone for the rest of the ad.

Saying someone is in need to reduce their collection but has just bought another car and would consider a car on trade makes it sound like a car filipper. ( If ownership is sub 1 year, that would be a tip off )

Unless full service records come with the car, who knows if it was well taken care of. In other ads see also , synthetic oil changed every 3 K miles , premium fuel always used, never in rain , always garaged, never raced. . .

"Well taken care of " but " has hesitation when accelerating " don't play well together. I'm thinking this car was sitting in a garage for a while with old fuel and got scrubbed up a bit to sell.

I'll let others pick out what is wrong with in the driving pic.

Points for the sun reflector to save the dash though.

97 SL320 x 2

......and we can see the odometer says 31,000+ miles, but no mention of whether that is 31,000, or 131,000, or ???

....and how about some pics of the parts that are not "almost rust free"

Okay geez way to tear up my ad And disect it . Look i bought the car last year it was my weekend driver and ended up developing the driving issue and i havent had the time nor money to fix it . Ive had other things come up and emergency bills and this car is not a priority at the moment . And doesn't almost rust free imply that there is some rust ?! But thanks for taking the time out of your day to write a damn paragraph response about how horrible my ad is glad theres support out there in the benz community *******

Did you read the 4 "Sticky's" at the heading of this section in particular the one titled 1987 Benz Diesel Wagon For Sale (Rare)?

The car might not be that bad and a good piece for someone to tinker with, the ad is what sours the deal.

Note how the OP deleted the 2nd pic but I had the forethought to copy it. The problem in the 2nd pic is the steering is turned to the left on an apparently straight road.

Given the OP also changed the wording in the ad, apparently my thoughts on the ad have some truth. The " Need gone " title sounds really low brow and is what set my reply in motion, it ranks up there with a southern Gypsy paver up North for the summer the uses the sales pitch " I just paved Bob's driveway down the street , have some asphalt left over and can pave your driveway real cheap. " ( I'm OK with someone hustling paving business , just make it professional and don't use a thinly believable line that has been recycled for decades. )

From the C list ad that was also used above, the many of the pics are at night and in the shade:
