Who is selling this Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL, and how does a purchase work?

AutoSL GmbH, a professional dealer in Neuss, Germany. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Neuss, Germany, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer.
