More detailed info:
Car was originally in southern California and serviced at Mercedes-Benz of Escondido until 2001, to around 110k miles. Then the car moved to Seattle and remained until 2009 (around 135,000 miles by this point). Unsure until this point if this was the same owner or not. In 2010 the car moved to Oregon, remained under the same owner until 2018, and was serviced at Hartmann Motors until its current ~150,000 miles. We purchased it in 2018 and performed some of the recent service and upgrades.
The only modifications are authentic period-correct AMG front + rear lips, AMG 16x7.5 et17 wheels, H&R lowering springs (original springs included), Euro LHD headlights, clear corner lights, and aftermarket wood grain shift knob (original black leather knob included). The AC was converted to R134 in 2012. The dash was removed and recovered in leather in 2017. A replica period-correct AMG badge was fitted to the trunk as well (easily removed).
3 keys including valet key. Original SLS rear suspension functional and recently serviced (2017). Correct Becker head unit with original Mercedes stereo amps and speakers. Both seatbelt presenters working. Automatic locks working (including fuel door lock). Engine runs strong and smooth. Transmission shifts great, no observed issues.
All of the body paint appears to be original except for the bumpers which must have been repainted when the lips were added and molded into the bumper form. All the paint is in excellent condition, save for some scrapes to the point of the front bumper lip.
This is a nitpicky list but a prospective buyer would want to know these things.
- The latch for the lower center console cubby doesn't catch (or I haven't figure out how it works).
- Underbody is very clean but minor wetness forming on bottom of transmission. Zero drips on the floor after 1 year.
- 1 ball joint on each side of the front suspension shows cracked boots
Contacted Mercedes-Benz of Escondido for records, but they apparently recently changed ownership and said all the old records were lost and they didn't have anything on this VIN.
