    If you could get the top to function correctly and fix the glove box, I bet you could flip it for a few more bucks.
    Nice pick up Randy!

  • @CL500MBZ

    Hi Randy - Please don’t allow the SLK to be scrapped! I like and watch JR and I am not sure that he intends to scrap every car that he buys. He recently bought a Bentley that I don’t think he wants to scrap. I currently own a 2011 550 SL and the convertible top is the most expensive item to fix if it breaks. I would like you to try to fix the top on the SLK. Your SLK is very desirable color with a beautiful interior. It would be very popular in Naples Florida where I live. In fact, I will definitely bid on the car if you ultimately send it to Copart. I would be willing to pay $1K over what JR would offer to NOT see it scrapped.

  • @trbstang

    Coming soon, Auto Auction Recycling! 😂 I'd hate to see it get broken down and at $10k I cant believe it would be profitable enough for JR, but what do I know. I'd try to fix the roof, maybe try to sell it, and if you don't get $11-12k or more, drive it to Kansas and help JR tear it down. Buy a car there and drive it back. Good luck with it Randy!

    I find it ironic that you go into copart and find old cars to fix up because you hate to see them scrapped and then to turn around and scrap a perfectly good running car. It is your property and you should do what you want with it. The logic may not make sense, but it is RUclips content. I'm just glad they're not scrapping me for body parts. I'm 71 and they're almost wore out 😊

    Had a 2015 GLA 250 4Matic Edition 1 for 2 years. Beautiful car inside and out. Fun to drive and quick too. Hated how the radio worked and expensive to service. Had 3 speed sensors go out and a sunroof that stopped working. After a small front end collision the collision avoidance system would just throw an error and stop working multiple times. Had to go to Mercedes and get it recalibrated so much that we just sold it to Carmax.
