This is a great car and if I had the room, I'd keep it indefinitely. Have spared NO expense maintaining this MB. Excellent shape. Owned over 8 years, put about 18k miles on as the second owner. Owner history says 4. Original owner until 89 years old stopped driving and transferred ownership to his daughter. She did not drive it and transferred ownership to a family friend who in turn immediately sold it to me. Have a two-inch file in receipts and all work done locally at top shops with original owners paperwork included. Last of the true Mercedes sedans before Chrysler made a mess of a great German car company. The ride is so smooth on the highway and around town. Decent mpg at 25 hwy and 17 in town. Pictures speak for themselves. All electronics perform as designed. Items replace or addressed; 1) New brake pads, disks, and fluid. 2) New second stage cats. 3) New rack and pinion steering gearbox. 4) New windshield. 5) New antenna. 6) Transmission flush. 7) Radiator service. 8) Interior completely disassembled and detailed (cleaned and inspected). 9) New motor and transmission mounts. 10) Typical engine vibration fixed. 11) New valve sleeves and heads cleaned and decked. 12) Motor oil passages purged and cleaned. 13) Multiple oil changes. 14) New camshaft magnets. 15) Completely new rear end gears, bearings, seals and fluid. 16) New valve cover gaskets. 17) New pitman arm. 18) New upper and lower ball joints. 19) New plugs and coil packs. 20) New vacuum lines and hoses. Running only BP or Shell 93. Tank always stored full to prevent condensation. All trim has been disassembled and cleaned or polished. All cladding has been removed and cleaned. All fasteners are factory and as designed. Trunk liners all removed, cleaned and the trunk inspected for any issues. As noted the interior has been completely detailed. Always garaged. No rust. Running on a staggered set of AMG 18" near perfect rims. No kids, smoking or pets! Used mainly for 450 mile trip to in-laws. Best type of mileage. 3400 miles average per year. Needs a couple things to be perfect. Front tires showing wear on outside but now fixed with suspension work. I need to adjust drivers soft close door action. Couple pixels out on hvac controller. Easy stuff.
