should I be worried about longevity and upkeep of it? I know that’s a loaded question because we don’t know how it’s been treated, but looking at how clean it is I would venture to say it’s been treated relatively decent.
BTW…this is coming from someone that just inherited a 05 N/A roadster, so I’m not completely familiar with them.
If this thread needs to be moved to technical, please feel free.
Thanks for your help in advance.
The bottom line is
spend a few bucks for an inspection at an independent European mechanic, as the car (SRT-6) is the equivalent to a Benz SLK-32. Once you get an in-depth evaluation of the car, then you'll know what to live with and what you can negotiate with (and both aren't mutually excludable). Good luck!
BTW, this forum is a wealth of information that can save you many bucks, you can also factor that in on an offer, if your able to do repairs that are needed.
