You are reading about a 1990 MBZ 300 SEL in decent condition. It needs work and I will describe the best I can what I have been told/know that needs to be repaired or replaced. I purchased in June 2006 with 129,000 miles. The items I had repaired/replaced at the time were - Mono valve insert, antenna mast, replace belt - belt tensioner - belt adjust rod & shock, window switch, front driveline disk, accelerator pedal, csi control unit. I didn't fix the cruise control and the in-dash wiring had a little glitch. Once in a while when one of the temp buttons was pushed harder than normal, the radio would change channels. Annoying when listening to a good song or a Rockies baseball game, but not enough to have it looked at. CURRENT NEEDS: * Rear brakes - 1 caliper and both pads. Not sure about the front. * Front end alignment - front tires worn, rears a little better * Mono belt - worn/cracked * AC - Worked intermitently when I garaged it last year. (Purchased a E320 4-matic wagon) Now it only blows hot air. Pushing the temp buttons doesn't seem to change any function. Wondering if the wiring problem I had when I purchased finally took it's toll? The condenser seems to kick in and run but the heater only blows hot air. ??? * Minor tune up recommended * Engine mounts are flat * Coolant, trans fluid, brake fluid dirty * A little play in the shifter - bushing missing (missing when purchased) INTERIOR: * Parchment color leather. * No tears, rips in upholstery or headliner * No cracks in dash * Wood trim on counsel and radio area has cracks * Carpet - no tears or rips - 21years old EXTERIOR: See pictures * Paint: (2 pictures) Entire car has little scratches and 12-15 splotches. Wasn't this way when I purchased. Started to look this way last spring after I used a synthetic wax - ICE. Used twice and the scratches appeared and more splotches appeared.(There were only 3-4 splotches when I purchased). Don't know if it was actually the wax, but no scratches until after use. * Dents: (1 picture) Two small dents above passenger side windshield. They were there when I purchased. (1 picture) One small "bork" on hood. There when i purchased * Door Dings: Both sides of car. Can't see on pictures * Rust spot: (1 picture) One quarter size spot on left rear panel between the plastic and metal. * Glass/light covers: All good. No cracks * Wheels: Two need to be refinished. Other two are Ok. * Sunroof: Works both ways * ELECTRICAL: All works, except possibly (probably) the auto temp panel. "See AC explanation". Some of the digits for the radio numbers don't show all the lines. Also advertised locally. I reserve the right to end the auction early.
