We Can Assist With Financing (must be done prior to bidding)
Over the past 3 years we have sold over 1000 vehicles on ebay and decided that we would take a new approach to the advertising. Let's face it, when you buy a car on ebay the main thing you are lacking is the ability to test drive. Our new approach to the marketplace will be to give you a "virtual test drive" so to speak. Rather than a fancy description we are going to keep it simple. We are going to pair a description of our test drive and mechanic evaluation with a list of the pro's and con's of this particular car. These will be based on years of buying vehicles and knowing what to look for when purchasing. Please remember above all that it is IMPOSSIBLE for a used car to be perfect so any seller that doesn't list flaws is just not being thorough, we are taking the guess work out of online buying. Please also remember that we are doing our best to describe them well but if you have a specific question just ask and we will respond promptly. We also would appreciate your input on this type of description so we know whether to stick with it or go back to the old style. Thanks!
Vision Custom Cars is pleased to offer you this 1999 Mercedes Benz SL500 Luxury Convertible. You can own this car for a mere fraction of its original price.
When we got it in we did a full service (oil change, spark plugs, filters) and gave the car a detail. After the serviceI drove it about 40 miles and noticed no problems with brake fade, no odd noises, and no blown speakers and no odd shakes or overheating issues of any kind, the car basically drives like new. All accessories worked well and the car on the whole seemed to run out exceptionally well. You could definitely tell it was well cared for by its prior owners. When I returned and checked it out in the shop I found no additional issues. The brakes seemed to have plenty of life left and the set of tires look to have tons of tread left on them as well.
please note that there is a small crack in the very bottom of the front bumper, this will be repaired professionally prior to sale.
The Good:
extra clean car - no rust - great color combo! - leather seats with tons of adjustments - great stereo - FAST CAR - just serviced and needs nothing - beautiful - priced low! - Stunning set of staggered 20" wheels! - not a ding, or dent on the car - warranty! - all the toys! BOTH TOPS!
The Bad:
The display for the climate control sometimes is missing a few pixels (no big deal, just being picky) - some very minimal wear on the carpet (again being picky) there just isn't much to point out on this car.
****PLEASE NOTE THAT FREE SHIPPING IS GOOD ONLY IF BUY IT NOW IS USED AND WE COVER 500 MILES OF TRANSPORT. ANYTHING OVER 500 IS BILLED PER MILE TO THE BUYER. FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU LIVE 700 MILES FROM US YOU WILL PAY FOR 200 MILES OF SHIPPING*****

HOW WE CREATE OUR CONDITION REPORT
COSMETIC:
When you walk around a car on a lot you tend to think about several things based on the appearance and condition of the items you see. Obviously nobody walks around a car and says "that fender looks excellent" and if they do, what does that mean? Below I have have put the terms used in the condition report in a more user friendly context. Imagine walking around this car with a buddy and sharing opinions, if I were that buddy then this is what I would say.
-Excellent: "wow, I just can't believe how clean this car is for its age"
-Good: "for being ____ years old this is in really nice shape and was obviously cared for"
-Average: "well its not new but for a ___ year old car this is no more wear than I'd expect"
-Poor: "I think this part will definitely need some attention to get it to where I'd like it to be"
Mechanical:
When you go to a lot and drive a car for the first time you immediately notice things about it. "Does the engine idle smoothly", "does the transmission shift right", "do the brakes feel good", "is the exhaust quiet", "does the car feel tight or does it wander and rattle"? These are the questions that go through my mind as I drive each car. Again, please imagine that I am the guy you are riding with during your test drive and when looking at the condition report, these are the things I would say.
-Excellent: "this is amazing how great this is, obviously the part has either been recently replaced or well cared for throughout the life of the car"
-Good: "this area of the car feels good and definitely won't need any attention in the near future"
-Average: "for the age, I would expect this type of wear and most likely you will need to give it some minor attention shortly after purchase"
-Poor: "this is something that will need work before the car is able to be driven daily"
The only items that don't really follow this guide are brakes and tires. If we rate them excellent it means we just changed them. Good means they have more than 50% life left and anything less than that and we just replace them prior to sale or clearly note it in the auction.
