Former Depeche Moder Alan Wilder Taps Fans To Sell Mercedes

(Radio.com) Former Depeche Mode member Alan Wilder has not only put his prized Mercedes 300SL up for sale, but the musician has gone into great detail about the car's history in the hopes of finding a suitable bidder.

The sale of the vehicle comes two years after Wilder auctioned off a huge collection of Depeche Mode memorabilia, notes music site Slicing Up Eyeballs.

"I find that I don't use the car enough these days due to having a family and the space requirements that imposes," explained Wilder on his official blog, typically dedicated to his band Recoil.

"I bought the Merc back in 1991 when it was first released and had to remain on a waiting list for 6 months such was the excitement and demand for the (then) cutting edge model. I have looked after her meticulously over the years and just cannot stand to see her sitting in my garage not being used."

According to Wilder, the car is in relatively good condition with a scant 72,824 miles on the odometer, although long since out of warranty. more on this story
