I have owned this car since 2006 (I'm the 2nd owner) when I bought it Certified from a MB dealer in Northern California. The car has some wear and tear, but it has plenty of life still left in it. Plenty of space. It isn't huge, but big enough to keep the family safe with airbags all around. My kids are driving their own cars now, so I'm looking to get something a bit smaller and sportier. Car is for sale locally as well, so I may have to cancel the auction if it sells here. The car has lots of features and still feels like a luxury car even though it is 12 years old. I have a passed emission certificate and clean title in hand.Some maintenance notes & issues:Bad: There is a crack in the front windshield however it is up high and I don't even notice it. It behind the rain sensor and the sun visors so it is not in line of sight. The passenger sun visor is stiff and doesn't stay perfectly up to the ceiling. Probably an easy fix, I just haven't got to it yet.Car could use an oil change - I changed it about 8,500 miles ago. I have been changing it myself every 8000-10000 miles since it is synthetic. Also, it is a big reservoir of oil - it take 8 quarts! All that oil helps it last a long time. The oil level sensor needs replaced. The car doesn't leak or burn oil and every time I change the oil I suck out 8 quarts, so this shouldn't be a problem. Just something to be aware of it it ever does start leaking/burning some day. The oil pressure sensor is just fine - this is just the sensor to check the oil level that isn't working. Good stuff: I put new NGK Iridium Spark plugs in the car about 15,000 miles ago. They should last another 85,000 miles or more. Each cylinder has two spark plugs (16 plugs total).I also replaced both air filters (yes, there are two) and the cabin filter about 10,000 miles ago. About 20,000 miles ago I replace the auxiliary battery (it is like a motorcycle battery).Just a couple months ago (maybe 2,000 miles?) I had the front suspension redone, so new ball joints and such. New brakes, turned rotors, etc. I have the paper work for that. I put a new fuel pump in this summer when the old one died. The tank has two floats and the gasket on the driver side float needs replaced because it leaks a bit when the gas tank is over 3/4 full. Doesn't leak much, just enough that if you are outside the car you can smell gas.The gasket is cheap, and it is probably a 15 minute fix since you just have to lift up the seat, unscrew a 'cap', put in the gasket and screw the cap back down.
