In today's video, we take a look at a Mercedes SL500 with a chequered past that I recently bought through our car buying service: carsboughtformore.com ! This V8 beast caught the eye of a crim and it ended up stolen, (20 YEARS AGO) We look into why it's still showing as nicked, how I found out and what happens next!

Auto Trader so good at doing checks let ‘dealers’ advertise as private sellers

2003 , yes gas guzzler but the condition is amazing ! Lovely motor for someone that loves filling up 👍.

The sexiest car ever designed. i had one in 2008 when it run right it is the best car in the world so perfect in every way UNTIL !! alarm sysytem kept going off for no reason, heater matrix stuck in either cold or hot randomly, air suspension failed at only 20k miles £8,000 cost to replace. batteries dead after 1 week standing, despite new batteries. moisture entered via roof seals. Which drove me mad. BUT Still today i loved the car when all runs well so brilliant in looks and to drive.. damn i miss it being honest despite costing stress and thousands to maintain.. at £6,500 you got a bargain.. Check air suspension although i am told cheaper replacements are available nowadays should it need them.

Hey Joe do you ever offer free samples 😂😂? That would look epic on my drive! Or the Jag…. Great content, love your channel 😊

@andrewcairns7719 10 месяцев назад

Another great video Joe👍🏻

@msjcars2317 10 месяцев назад

Did the black and white stripy top not make you think ? 🤣🤣👍😃🤦🤔🤦‍♂️😊

@johnmurdock3591 10 месяцев назад

I’ve got a SL350 and I’ve always got the rear battery on trickle charge. It’s a car you can’t leave standing for long without one, the electronics consume so much. I like this mint example some questionable modifications but nothing bad. Did you get it for £6.5k?

@Kendoddsdadsdogsdead532 10 месяцев назад

Get rid of that 'im a knob head' smoked number plate.

@ShiftingMetal 10 месяцев назад

It’s actually a standard one, just how Toby’s moody editing made it look!

@gu7sportsandprestige 10 месяцев назад

You paid 6500 for that??? You well and truly got robbed.

@michaeledwards8079 10 месяцев назад

that's what I thought after doing an independent valuation, but on the plus side is has very low mileage for the year, but 7 owners would put me off, although a future classic

THAT'S A £6,500 PROFIT THEN IF YOU STOLE IT WITH NO £0 INVESTMENT! I NEVER WATCHED THE VIDEO JUST THE CLICKBAIT TITLE

@ShiftingMetal 10 месяцев назад

Ok, good guess on the purchase price then! Thanks for the comment anyway 👍😂

@bantamNeil12 10 месяцев назад

Lovely looking and sounding vehicle Super Joe 🦸‍♂️👏🏻 Hopefully u get the marker matter resolved on it asap and I'm sure you won't have this beast on the forecourt for long...A nice profit 📈 in it for sure as well...Good work on the vehicle checks as well SJ 🦸‍♂️💪🏻👏🏻

“‘A drug dealer has arrived…”

@Ediconic1 10 месяцев назад

I thinks that's Dove. I would take the tint off the windows, you just need a steam pump and easy to do.

@liamegan4303 10 месяцев назад

Hi Joe. Jesus good thinking about checking the original plates. It's a very nice Car. I like those wheels and that GREY intior is different. Nice Chrisyler 3000 Joe. You have loads of Cars that I havnt seen before, Fiat 500, Nissan Juke, Which is great to see..Keep up the good work bro 😅😅 🇨🇮🇨🇮

@johanndork5364 10 месяцев назад

Had a 350sl 2006 facelift for six years. Lovely drive. Watch out for roof pump, boot lock, auto sticking, tax, air con, springs break. Very cheap these days but keep some cash in reserve. Any SH on it?

@d.b.cooper1 10 месяцев назад

Absolute scenes when some old bloke bursts through the door asking for his car from back in the day circa 2003 back...computer says it's his so it must be his!

@JD-ts2nl 10 месяцев назад

That interior I believe is called....Soft Elephant 🤔

@DaleSteel 10 месяцев назад

Wow suprised its come up. Ive bought loads of stolen recovered never come up. I have however had similar issues with private plates not bringing up correct information

@markmagee2382 10 месяцев назад

Jag sounds better 😉 again great interesting video, been around cars most my life and not came across that scenario of being stolen just after manufacturing flag up still now. Some super videos recently 👍thanks for making it

@mattheweast3692 10 месяцев назад

Do you recommend getting a mechanical inspection before buying a car?

@BuddyandMe 10 месяцев назад

Good old vehicle score again to the rescue they must be paying well every car channel really promoting this its good and free.

@Kingdonnerkebab 10 месяцев назад

Looks and sounds lovely that Joe, not sure on the wheels but they are not bad. Id remove the tints if it was mine.

@Rick-sl7iw 10 месяцев назад

The interior colour is silver believe it or not I had the same in my one 👍🏼

@Yorkshiremadmick 10 месяцев назад

Mushroom is the leather colour I think.

I had a privete plate on a Honda motorbike which got stolen (not recoverd) waited 5 years then asked DVLA too put the plate on my newish Skoda car which I paid £9,000 then car prices rocketed (after Covid) I put car reg in WeBuyAnyCar and was offered £12,000 I went to my local office too be told the cars fine but the private plate was registered as stolen too a Honda motobike - I got the old plates back on the car and sold the car to WeWantAnyCar for £12,500 - I thnk DVLA had not updated there records or somthing like that.

@ShiftingMetal 10 месяцев назад

That's interesting. I did think about putting one of our private plates on!

@henrykravitz468 10 месяцев назад

Amazing car Joe. Hope the marker gets resolved. would you rather have the SL500 or the Jaguar?

@ShiftingMetal 10 месяцев назад

The Jag for me !

@timsa7181 10 месяцев назад

first

@skodakatie7341 10 месяцев назад

Wow what a beautiful car, both in terms of looks and sound. That must have been some car back in the day, I’m looking forward to seeing you drive it Joe❤.

@ShiftingMetal 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Katie, 5pm today! :)

@jon623197 10 месяцев назад

I think mushroom for the interior colour. Great vid as always. Thank you.

@michaelgauld4683 10 месяцев назад

Yep , i agree on the colour . Don't see how he got cream !!! Must be colour blind 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️😀

When you opened the bonnet I just roared with laughter at the size of the beast!

@nickmoore2301 10 месяцев назад

Surely if that has a stolen marker on it you are at risk of being stopped by the police, not really smart driving it about until the stolen marker is removed, won't that also void your trade insurance ? 😮 Also please change that awful rear tinted number plate 🤢

@ShiftingMetal 10 месяцев назад

It could get a pull from the police but it would be dealt with appropriately, wouldn’t it 🤷‍♂️ It’s actually a standard plate, just how Toby’s moody editing made it look!

@davidclarke9767 10 месяцев назад

I visited car's bought for more filled in the form with my details it said they would get back to you within 24hours, but alas several days later no reply from CBM .

Pick up the phone - just helped my sister sell a car to Joe and co at Berrow motors. Completely wonderful experience: fair offer and completely hassle free.
