MISSING DOCUMENTS

I'm interested in buying a MB GL 420 from a local independent Dundee dealer. 2008, 50,000 miles, v good bodywork, test drove v well. Crack in windscreen, three seats in need of repair/replacement. Dealer has had car for sale for over 5 months. Salesman says documents - service history, owners manual - are missing but can be found. Obvious to me that the docs are truly missing and, if I buy the car, I'll have to source them myself.
Selling price is currently 22,300 or 22,600 depending which site you look at. Am willing to make an offer but what do you think I should offer? Thanks, AW

I rate these very highly, with the one small problem that it's difficult to get into the rearmost seats from the nearside because they are designed for driving on the right: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/mercedes-benz/merc.../ and www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/mercedes-benz/gl-cla.../ This gives the price range for comparison: www.honestjohn.co.uk/used-prices/Mercedes-Benz/GL-...0
