Run away from that one.
Interior wear suggests much higher mileage.
It would be better if it were stock. AMG stuff was not what it is today. The emblem on the trunk looks like ****.
It also looks gray market and then federalized. It has US bumpers, but euro climate control IIRC. Euro lights were a very expensive mod. While the wheels are period correct, they don't belong on an SEL.
This car will cost the new owner a lot of money in the future.

I find them very interesting. The 6.9 was the greatest of its time.

Yes, that's a start. It remains one of the most complex cars of its time.
Dry sump, unique Bosch fuel injection, hydroneumatic rear suspension, climate control, etc.
