After speaking to them, they are aware as to what the car is on the face if it with vomments like ‘lot of car for the money’. However I think this dealer may be a little ignorant to the car when it comes to the detail.
So car has a full MD service history at regular intervals and then they say it would be serviced by them before a sale! They said their service would be on par with an MD and I had to stop him short and said that these cars if I was buying it I wiuld maintain the md service and he didnt like that haha.
So i think they thought the car might have sold a lot quicker than it has and they complexly mis judged the ‘nature’ of the car they are selling! Despite where it is being sold from, this could be a case of a good motor being sold by people who simply do not have our level of technical know how as to the brand, which i can understand!
Agreed...sometimes you have to see past the difficulties and work through them. Sometimes it is harder work than others however often when it feels like too much hard work then often it is all wrong and best to ignore.
I enquired about an R129 SL Silver Arrows this week which has just popped into the market. The R129 has 12 month or 9k service intervals. This car was advertised with Full Mercedes Service History. It has had 3 services apparently in nearly 18 years. When I quizzes the seller about this he said he hadn't used it much so that is OK.
It is up for silly money and is a CAT D car as well as the garage roof fell on the car apparently. It is twice the price that I will probably sell my SL for and mine has had a service every year since new.
Some sellers really are deluded.
I think a garage should know more about the product they are selling. How can it inspire confidence when you don't know what you are selling. How can they service a car to MD levels of they don't know much about the car. I would leave it sitting there for another couple of years I think!
