- 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
Another great video Joe👍🏻
Another V8 Joe cracking sound! XK for you, the SL for Sophie. Just as well fuel prices coming down!
The sound of that Merc has made my day Joe, thanks for that.
Mine too!
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 🦸♂️💪🏻👏🏻
Cheers Neil! 👍
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
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 😅😅 🇨🇮🇨🇮
2003 , yes gas guzzler but the condition is amazing ! Lovely motor for someone that loves filling up 👍.
Hey Joe do you ever offer free samples 😂😂? That would look epic on my drive! Or the Jag…. Great content, love your channel 😊
When you opened the bonnet I just roared with laughter at the size of the beast!
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❤.
Thanks Katie, 5pm today! :)
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?
Looks and sounds lovely that Joe, not sure on the wheels but they are not bad. Id remove the tints if it was mine.
It would be a good idea to make a video of JORDAN doing a refurbishment of headlights from start to finish
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?
Very nice,love the chrysler 300 too
Do you recommend getting a mechanical inspection before buying a car?
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
Beautiful car, I had 350, pain in the ass for expensive electrics
They can be a nightmare!
Oh brill you've found my car, thanks so much I will arrange collection asap. Cynthia x
😂
Made me laugh so hard!!🤣🤣
I thinks that's Dove. I would take the tint off the windows, you just need a steam pump and easy to do.
I think mushroom for the interior colour. Great vid as always. Thank you.
Yep , i agree on the colour . Don't see how he got cream !!! Must be colour blind 🤷♂️🤷♂️😀
That’s a good term for it, my mind blanked!
Poor lad, seems shocked.
Amazing car Joe. Hope the marker gets resolved. would you rather have the SL500 or the Jaguar?
The Jag for me !
Nice great condition
That interior I believe is called....Soft Elephant 🤔
Did the black and white stripy top not make you think ? 🤣🤣👍😃🤦🤔🤦♂️😊
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.
Joe would have it shown up with the vin ? 👍
Interior is mushroom colour if that helps
The interior colour is silver believe it or not I had the same in my one 👍🏼
I read them both! Am i going to be ok!? 😂
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!
Good old vehicle score again to the rescue they must be paying well every car channel really promoting this its good and free.
I’ve the same car 😎
Started watching then realised it was just an advert. switched off.
Weapon there mate
Mushroom leather 7:00
Bit old but cool
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.
That's interesting. I did think about putting one of our private plates on!
Mushroom is the leather colour I think.
“‘A drug dealer has arrived…”
Get rid of that 'im a knob head' smoked number plate.
It’s actually a standard one, just how Toby’s moody editing made it look!
Taupe i would call that
Just seen someone beat me to it earlier lol
Taupe leather
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 .
You are like a stuck record.
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.
You paid 6500 for that??? You well and truly got robbed.
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
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Don’t read this or this, spoilsport 😀
🤷♂️😂
first
Auto Trader biggest crooks ever
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 🤢
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!
THAT'S A £6,500 PROFIT THEN IF YOU STOLE IT WITH NO £0 INVESTMENT! I NEVER WATCHED THE VIDEO JUST THE CLICKBAIT TITLE
Ok, good guess on the purchase price then! Thanks for the comment anyway 👍😂
What's the details on the white nissan joke in the video?
oh dear lol what a drawback, see you should have offered me 21k for my golf r estate 7.5 , 999 score . lol.
