SL55 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 19,000 miles
2005 mercedez Benz C230 sport type has a low front end. In Florida when you park in a public parking lot the front of the car is against a concrete tire stop. You are going out for the evening with another couple you drop off the 3 people at the door and park against the concrete piece stop. After you leave and all four people get into the car the weight of four people will lower the car so the front end drags over the concrete stop and you back up and shear off the front end. Causing damage in the tune of $$$$
