incomplete carfax report
« on: February 08, 2024, 22:28:05 »
I’m looking to buy a 560SL and found one imported by a car trader in the Netherlands.

The last Carfax record 12/09/2010 indicates 53.303 mi, today the mileage counter reads 53.822.
This is not much for nearly 14 years.
Is there any possibility, next to the not available maintenance booklet, to find out what happened in
the last 14 years with this car?

Thanks for your views, Peter

Car could very well have sat for that long. I come across that here in California all the time. If you can find out who the owner was during that time, you can verify. But they may have passed, which is often a reason for cars just sitting.
