I'm selling my cherished Leica M9-P in Like-New condition. It has CCD ID 11 and was treated by Kolari Vision this year, with the sensor glass replaced with Schott BG39 Glass after I noticed slight signs of corrosion. I took action to prevent any further spread, so there's no need to worry about sensor corrosion on this unit.
The actuation number on this camera is 3739. The rangefinder is perfectly calibrated and the camera is 100% functional. I inspected exterior throughly even though it was stored in shelf for the most of the time, and confirm it has no scratches whatsoever.
The screen may look like it has tiny scratches, but it's just the screen protector. No damage at all on the screen.

As you might have noticed, I’m not much of a forum user so I first heard about the corrosion issue last year while randomly talking to a friend who’s a photographer. Right after hearing about it, I checked my M9-P’s sensor and noticed three tiny dots appearing on the top left side of the test photos. I wasn’t sure if it was corrosion or just dust, so I tried to send the camera to Leica for confirmation. Unfortunately, by that time, they had already discontinued the sensor replacement service.
Shortly after, I discovered that Kolari Vision was handling M9-Ps since Leica stopped. I sent my camera to them for a check-up, and they confirmed that my sensor had just started to corrode. I immediately requested a sensor glass replacement.
Image below is a invoice from Kolari Vision. Let me know if you need more information.
Kolari would have simply replaced the cover glass which was corroded. The original sensor should be fine.
I have two M9's. One with cover glass replaced, and the other with the complete sensor and cover glass replaced by Leica. It was one of the very last there did.
Both cameras are fine and are most enjoyable to shoot with.
