The car was privately imported from Japan in 2014 by the first owner who bought the car on March 13, 2001.

Condition

The condition of the bodywork is described by the current owner as almost flawless. The car is stainless. No modifications have been made to the body. There are a couple of minor remarks that the owner raises, including a barely visible dent on the right side. The dent is visible when the light falls just right. The paint is not damaged on or around the dent. A small amount of stone chips and wash scratches are on the vehicle, but nothing protruding badly. The left door and tailgate have been repainted at a professional company as there were minor marks in both places. Glass panes are in good condition with no visible damage. Emblem on bonnet is shiny and flawless but looks to have been the blue variant. The front left lamp glass is slightly dull but can easily be polished again. The AMG rims are in good condition, but there are minor scratches and marks from e.g. parking. The tires fitted last for one more season but should be changed before the next inspection.

The general condition of the interior is described as nicely used condition. The remarks we find include scratches on the glove box and some paint wear on the door handles. The seats and door sides are in good condition and have coped well with the wear and tear that usually occurs when stepping in and out. Usual smaller marks are on the side support of the driver's seat. Instrument panel, buttons, controls and steering wheel are in good condition. The inner ceiling of the cab is very nice. All electronics in the passenger compartment work as they should.

Engine is described by the current owner as faultless. No modifications have been made. Gearbox and drivetrain are described as new with no noise. Brakes work well and are squeak-free.
