Is there a coolant gauge?

Yeah, in the digital cluster.

Posted it for sale on Facebook & Autotrader. Had 2 hits yesterday off of Facebook, 1 guy wanted to trade a Land Rover Defender square body project for it & a lady who kept insisting  on a VH package & sent me a link to a website to purchase said package. :banghead:

Good luck sir, I know it'll likely be a PITA dealing with all the yahoos out there but you just need one good buyer to make it worth your time and effort. 

Any particular reason why you are selling now?

Figure it's springtime & a good time to sell a convertible right now. Hopefully get top dollar for it & put that towards something else down the road.

Good luck with the sale...you'll find the right buyer.

Still on my list of cars I'd like to own.

Was too lazy yesterday to take newer pictures, so that's my old 944 in the picture. I really should take a bunch of new photos for the ad, but just wanted to post it quickly.

This explains the 323 in the driveway. I thought it's long gone so I was like what?.... when did he get another one?

What's the VH package? UVIP, Carfax or something else?

As a seller, a UVIP would be nice to have. I always got one when sold a car. Show the buyer (not the tire kicker) there is no lien on the car and use it as sale contract.

VH is a scam, like that AutoCheck crap...

Great looking vehicle, and should sell quickly.  Saw one a few days ago while out walking the dog.  A rear sight in these parts.  Lots of SLKs around but rarely are they AMG versions. 

Wife was out in her with her friend's MX-5 yesterday and now has the urge for another vert.  We got too much going on right now with the new move and pending renos, otherwise I'd seriously consider yours.

Tom, I'd give you the "friends & family discount", so maybe you should consider it :stick: :rofl:

I know you would but I have nowhere to put it now anyway.  Garage is half-full of building material and both trucks in the small driveway, and the kayak trailer stuffed in beside the garage.  Had to store the boat on my country property.  Had lots of room for all that stuff on my last driveway with plenty of room to spare.  Still coming to terms with this down-sizing bs.  :P

Future plan is to eventually go down to one primary vehicle and then get a fun car, but that won't happen any time soon.
