Hello, I have a luxury problem and I look for the advice of people who know about the vehicle. I came across a 600SL rather by chance. Here are the dates: 1997, model 1998 2 previous owners 228,000 km, long distance, about 35,000 km per year in the first years White inside black, unusual with fabric covers Xenon, 8-wheeled The vehicle is well maintained, all documents are detectable, before about 3,000 km the transmission was replaced, usual customer service takes care of defects — obviously The underbody cladding is slightly smeared, on the ground a small oil stain. The owner thinks that this must be done. I would see that as well. In the previous 2nd TÜV reports the oil loss is already listed. So it is not a recent thing. According to TÜV, a jet plate was rusted through. I don’t know if it is made. Now my question: Can you buy such a visually very beautiful car, although mi t 16,000 euros not too cheap, or there are good alternatives from the expert’s point of view. Are 228,000 km just too much? No leather!? Generally I find the 12-cylinder incredibly appealing. I don’t want to race with it, just enjoy a few beautiful summer days. Sure, a 320 would do it too, but he doesn’t touch me. Would be nice, I would get some information. Thanks
