managed to steal this thing off of one of a coworker for $2700USD with only 106k miles. garage kept the outside is in perfect shape. Needs a fair amount of work on the inside.

Considering swapping a crossfire instrument cluster since the price of that and the bezel would be lower than replacing just the bezel with a mercedes one.

It also has a problem with the trunk hydraulics for the roof, ought to be the most expensive fix on it but would increase its value significantly.

Welcome from Wirral, England.

Some guides on how to use forum features https://www.slkworld.com/forum-operations-help-center/536527-links-how-threads.html
========================================================

First please update your location & vehicle details
(Put Looking!)(year?: 1996-2019, model?: 32, 200, 230, 250, 280, 300,320,350,55)
in your profile as it helps the members answer your questions which usually are based on that information.
This takes about 30 seconds to do.


Follow exactly to update:
‘Usercp’ at the top of page,
then ‘edit your details’ on the left side,
‘additional information’ near the bottom,
edit your ‘location’ and ‘vehicle’.
Info in your garage does not update your profile.

The reason that we ask you to update vehicle/location details
is to save repeating the same information every time that you ask a question.

Also, this site is truly worldwide. That can matter when you ask for help and information.
Are you looking for a bonnet, or a hood, a boot, or a trunk? Makes a difference.
Driving on the left, or the right?
