Default So I was looking at the auctions

I was meandering around looking at today's auctions on copart.
Found a gorgeous S65 V12 benz.
Had a warning on the dash which concerned me a little


I will say their dash reporting is pretty good when you have a problem.
Perhaps to good..

That looks like an accident to me, but if the on-board computer reports this is a vehicle malfunction, who am I to argue? Mercedes doesn't do a very good job building cars if that is how they malfunction.

Good call. Those V12s can be expensive to fix.
