And there is definitely something wrong with the hub caps!

One other thing -- you'd need a brake-job soon, there's a nice lip on the front rotor.
It may be the angle, but my strut does not have that much of the slender rod showing when the hood is up. Ok, how about the BLUE cap next to the drivers side shock tower? It is the wrong shape, and should be black. LOL

Also, in the 7th pic, you can clearly see the body line "jump"... the line which forms the "X" on the car... right where door meets fender. So, at least the fender was replaced too.

Yup. That car has definitely been wrecked, and had some extremely poor body and paint work done to it.

There is also a nice DENT in the rear left next to the light....

That pretty much solidifies it has been in a front end accident to me. I'd stay away from this car outside of offering them something to make it a parts car.


lastly, : The car is very fast and handles great. Serious inquires only, no Joyrides"
To know it is fast and handles great would indicate to me they either drive it in a joyride state all the time and consider mild cruising to be joyrides, or they haven't a clue what they are talking about.

Can't believe non of you guys said anything about the gap between the
passenger side headlight assembly and the bumper, or how the bumper
pieces that go up alongside the grill towards the hood come no where close
to lining up with the hood at a reasonable gap.

Make no mistake, this car has been hit, and hit hard. I would recommend
this car only to a person who already has an SRT-6 and wants to have a
parts car for future needs. And, only after having the major components
inspected by an independant Mercedes mechanic.

I'd say pass on this one, spring for the additional $6K and buy one with a
better pedigree.

Most of us saw it. Without looking underneath it's impossible to know how bad it was hit and why the gaps are bad. Could be that someone tried to fix it themselves on the cheap. I would never buy it without a good look in person but it's possibly an easy fix for a pro. I agree that the best advice for a teen is to avoid it. However, if I lived in the area and it drove correctly I would make an offer. A low one naturally.

That passenger's seat looks like it has been through some adult solicitation of it's own.
