2003 Mercedes Benz SL500
On the exterior body there were no dings or dents found, see images. I inspected and operated the convertible top and it opened and closed as designed . I inspected all of the wheels and the left rear wheel has some curb rash and scratches. I measured the tire tread depths and found all the tires have an average amount of treads, see images.

Interior
I noted in the report while inspecting the interior cabin no smoke or odors were found. I examined the interior and there is light wear to the seats. I operated all the climate control features including observing the windows switch's operations and functions. All components are working as designed.

Mechanical
Inspected all accessible fluids and they are at their recommended levels. I examined the drive belt and pulley system no issues were found. I observed the underbody and no issues were found, see images.

Road test complete
I found no issues on the test drive. The engine had plenty of power and there were no misfires or smoking. The transmission shifted as designed with no harsh engagement or slipping. The steering was responsive and the suspension was firm and the vehicle handled well. There were no abnormal vibrations or odd noises. The brakes were firm with no pulsation felt. I hooked up my Scan Tool to the computer system and found no current or pending codes. All of the live data looked good with no issues reported.

Please see the pictures for more info.
