Buying Merc CL500 (2000-7) what to look for?

[rusty pois]

I am looking to buy a Merc CL 2000-7 Model, what should I look for or are there any links to go to as Autotrader seem to have turned theirs off?

ABC failure and corrosion for starters.

I'd try using the search on this sub-forum as this topic comes up quite regularly and most if not all you need to know will be there Try searches for "ABC" for instance.

Hope that helps
