Need advice 280SL
« on: August 04, 2019, 11:12:11 »
Looking to buy this 280SL and ready to deal. By owners words car located in Roebling, NJ 08554 USA. Looks very nice number matching car. Maybe some one knows this car or seller. It is always tricky moment to buy the car from overseas. The perfect will be if someone could look at the car and check ownership documents off course for some salary. VIN 113044-12-014244

That is what I thought but these are the same photos as in the Bring-a-trailer add that was situating the car in Wisconsin which I assume also has no palm trees.

The area marked with a yellow pen looks very suspicious. I bet this car has a lot of bondo. I would run away.
