Not enough information. A picture or several of under the hood would be good. Seems odd not to have any.
I like C2T wheels, but don't care for them chromed and missing center caps.
There's no description of the actual condition of features. I.e. do the seats and mirrors work correctly?, does the memory system work?, does the HVAC work?, how's the suspension?, when was the TB last changed?
Interior looks nice. Seems to be pretty unmessed-with, except for the aftermarket steering wheel. Exterior looks nice too, but it's hard to tell with the high shine and all the things around the car. Things that look to be reflections might be paint or body blemishes.
For that price, these days, it should be in pretty top shape mechanically and cosmetically.
Edit: Tires look good. But, either the idle is low, or the oil pressure gauge is stuck high. Can't tell for sure whether it was running or not in that instrument cluster shot. Maybe the tach just reads a bit low.

I have looked at several vehicles from this outfit. I can tell you that they are masters of photography. I wound up buying my vehicles elsewhere. That said, I have friends that have bought mint Mercedes from them. I would never purchase from them without a thorough PPI and a personal viewing.

Definitely something funky going on with the gauges... too many variables to warrant that high of a price!

Those wheels are chromed Cup I wheels, not cup II's. Wonder if they are actually 7.5" fronts and 9" rears??
I suspect the switch is on, that's why the voltage shows about 12.5. And, if that's the case, then the sender for the oil pressure needs replacement, as it show 5 bar - which is typical of a failed sender. Should be 0 bar when the switch is on and the engine is not running.

This is also what Erkka's site lists them as. Where do the Cup 1 / Cup 2 names come from?

Not for sale right now. I believe that one of the TT bearings needs replacing but I want to be sure and change it before putting it to sale again.
You can see some pictures of the car taken last year..
