Vehicle Detail
100% original 2 owner Texas Mercedes wagon in mint condition and collector/museum quality. Truly well maintained Mercedes Benz that has been garage kept. I am told the original owner and the Carfax confirms was Texas Weslyan University in Fort Worth was the original owner and the president of the University drove the vehicle for school busniess. He later purchased the car when he left the university. I am adding this as people are asking me if the paint is original? I have asked 3 car guys I know the same question and they could not say for sure. It is almost too good to be original but I'm not sure because of the history of the car and the low miles. I know a Mercedes shop owner, but he Hans and Alex are on vacation in Germany! The interior and exterior are almost flawless and the aluminum head 5 cylinder diesel runs like a top. Absolutely 100% rust free and it is difficult to find a blemish on this car. AC blows ice cold, cruise control works, and original 4 speaker Becker radio and cassette works perfect. All the electric windows go up and down smoothly and quickly and it has a huge manual sunroof. The original wheels and tires are in excellent condition with a few very minor blemishes. The engine compartment is immaculate the diesel purrs like a kitten. The dash, seats, headliner are perfect with only some carpet fading in the rear. Just passed Texas safety inspection and all lights and electronics work fine except the clock. In this case, you are getting exactly what you seen in the pictures with no surprises whatsoever. No squeaks, rattles or funny smells. Rarely used and garage kept the last 5 years by elderly owner. I have added the carfax to the bottom of the listing. This Benz has been recently serviced with fresh oil, transmission and AC serviced. For full disclosure the only blemishes I have found on the car are faded carpet, the power antenna and clock are not functional, the hinge for the rear hatch doesnt hold the hatch up, and a very small oil leak which is typical of these vehicles. There are no rear headrests and there is a blemish on the wood dash where there was possibly a sticker sometime ago. I have washed and waxed the car and there is no Armorall on the car whatsoever. In this case I can say in confidence that the pictures do not lie. The paint is as smooth as glass with no buff marks and only a couple very very small imperfections. I have truly tried to describe this car as accurately as possible and will be posting a video soon as well. Please email me all your questions and I will respond promptly. If you would like to have a discussion regarding the Mercedes, please be sure to leave a number I can call you at. Please remember this is a 28 year old used car and their are very slight imperfections I have noted in my description above, but are by no means of a warranty in any way.Here is the video taken from my iPhone. I hope to upgrade the video soon, but you should get the idea from this.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVoGXs99sCc&list=UUuxzolHO20KDWQJBsntPQPA&index=2&feature=plcp About me. I am a regular guy with a full time job and my hobby is "chasing classic cars" on weekends. I like to find nice original cars that dont need much of anything except servicing the engine and a detail. I do my best to describe the cars accurately and my feedback reflects that. I have sold Cadillacs to Norway and Iceland. VW Eurovans to Californa and Montana and a AMC Pacer is off to North Dakota on Monday. The Mercedes is for sale locally and I resereve the right to end the auction at any time,Vehichle was as expected. Drove it back to Msla, MT 1,800 miles w/o problems!Buyer: thejalo ( 2 ) Jun-03-12 16:38 Volkswagen : EuroVan Van Bus (#180885145438)Thanks Sean! Car better than described.

Best RegardsKarl Just for fun I have added a video of me and my hounds off to the dog Park. I have since upgrated to a 2003 Lexus LS 430 as my daily driver and the classic Cadillac I owned for 12 years went to the Jim Hailey collection in New Mexico, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21r85nOhiKg Jim Haily Collection.
