  • Talk about your all-time bad beats. Watch as I describe the selling process of my recently acquired Mercedes SLK 350 and how we nearly lost our shirts fixing and selling this car.
    I feel fortunate to come out alive but time to move on to the next one.

    When you buy a car here in Utah , you get the title and a bill of sale , 2 bill of sale , one for you one for the buyer , . Before you sign that bill of sale , you need to do a pre buy inspection, because after that , the bill of sale it’s AS IS , car it’s yours .

    Sounds like you knew there was an issue when you first noticed it and tried to sell it any way 🤥. Pinnichio..... Would you have accepted the car back for refund had it happened the next day? I guess that's the chance you take if not under warrenty ..

      Nope. It was a one off issue that corrected itself and then fully broke when buyer tried to drive it away. We paid for the full repair ($3k) and sold to the same buyer for only an additional $500.

      He did know. He even says at 1:17 it happened to him before he tried to scam the buyer.

      Yes sort’ve. I’ve used a bunch of Lucas Power Steering leak stop and it’s working pretty good. Added one small bottle, and some more PS fluid. Been pretty solid for the last month plus.

    Sounds like a conductor plate issue

      You nailed it. Unfortunately only Mercedes dealer could fix and it was about $3k.
