I don't mind the wheels, AMG monoblocks kick ass.

If you were to get an SL500 from japan it would be about 12 000. If this is an N.A with that low mileage I'd probably pay about $20 000, maybe more.

What the owner selling it for? I can't believe how low the mileage is.

The price might be lower because it's a 90, but it could be higher because of the rediculously low mileage.

Edit - Looking again that must be a Japanese car, I'd pay low teens for it, 11-14 grand is probably around what it's selling for, right?

yeh its a Japanese car, my bud is over there now checking out some cars and he emailed me some data on this one. I could have it here for about 12K landed so I guess that would be pretty good. He drove it and checked everything out on the car and said the KM's reflect the overall condition.

I'll post a few more pics when I get em

Get the car then, that's a good deal, the car looks amazing.

Just beware, if something goes wrong things can get pricey.

Agreed with Completely

At a price of between 11-14k, your getting a car that will turn heads, perform, and be reliable for you if the proper maintanance is done.

Most of the luxury cars coming out of Japan that I've seen were LHD, I've seen a lot of Mercedes being exported from Japan, ALL were LHD.
