HI THANKS FOR LOOKING AT THE 1980 MERCEDES BENZ 450SL THE VEHICLE IS LOCATED IN A SUBURB OF PHOENIX ARIZONA & YOU ARE WELCOME TO VIEW IT. BRINGS BACK SO MANY MEMORIES TO SEE THE r107 STYLE ! THIS IS A ONE CENT NO RESERVE NO RES NR AUCTION SO WHOEVER IS THE HIGH BIDDER WILL OWN HER. TITLE IS IN MY HAND. I DROVE HER TODAY AND IT IS AN OLDIE BUT A FUN CAR TO BEHOLD. IS THIS THE BEST EXAMPLE YOU WILL EVER FIND? NO. BUT THIS IS A CLASSIC 35 YEAR OLD MERCEDES BENZ THAT RUNS AND DRIVES, AND WILL GATHER THE ATTENTION OF ANY MERCEDES FAN AS YOU CRUISE DOWN THE ROAD AND IT WOULD BE GREAT FOR A COLLECTOR THAT WANTS TO MAKE HER PERFECT AGAIN BECAUSE SHE ABSOLUTELY HAS LOTS OF POTENTIAL. THEY JUST DON'T BUILD CARS THAT FEEL THIS SOLID ANYMORE, WHETHER IT BE THE SOLID FEEL OF THE DOORS OR THE CLASSY LARGE HOOD. SHE HAS AN UPGRADED CD STEREO BY PIONEER AND REAR SPEAKERS TOO. HAS THE REMOVABLE HARDTOP BUT I WILL HAVE TO FIND ASSISTANCE IN TAKING IT OFF SO AS TO COMMENT ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE SOFTTOP. THIS NIFTY MERCEDES WAS A TRADE IN LOCALLY AT A NEW CAR DEALERSHIP AND I OBTAINED IT THIS WEEK. SINCE IT WAS NOT MY OWN DRIVER, I DO NOT KNOW THE HISTORY NOR HAVE I HAD ANY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH THIS NEAT LITTLE VEHICLE. SOME QUICK POSITIVES INCLUDE : POWER WINDOWS WORK, NEWER PAINT ON THE VEHICLE, MODERNIZED STEREO, SPARE TIRE, ORIGINAL RIMS, MATCHING TIRES, AND THE SEATS HAVE BEEN REDONE ALREADY AND LOOK GREAT, CENTER ARMREST TOO, RECARPETED FLOORING, AGAIN THE VEHICLE RUNS AND DRIVES, I WAS GLIDING ALONG AT 60MPH TODAY. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF SWITCHES THAT A PREVIOUS OWNER ADDED ON PERTAINING TO BOW LIGHTS /SPREADER LIGHTS / BLOWER. LOOKS LIKE THEY ADDED A WORKING LITTLE BATTERY SHUT OFF SWITCH, WHICH IS A GREAT IDEA ACTUALLY AND VERY PRACTICAL IN TIMES OF VACATION OR STORAGE. A CRACK IN THE FOOT AREA PLASTIC IN THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR DOWN LOW BY YOUR LEFT SHIN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. NOT A BIG DEAL, AND STAIN ON HEADLINER. COULD USE NEW VISOR CLIPS TOO. I AM TRYING TO HELP YOU WITH RESPECT TO THINGS ABOUT THE CAR. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS AN ARIZONA TITLE, SHE HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, A/C SYSTEM LOOKS LIKE A R134 UPGRADE BUT NOT CURRENTLY COLD, BUT REMEMBER THIS IS A ONE CENT AUCTION AND DO NOT EXPECT PERFECTION, HAVE REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS PLUS IT'S A PENNY AUCTION ! I AM SURE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT 35 YEAR OLD CARS WILL NEED VARYING DEGREES OF ATTENTION ON DIFFERENT AREAS. I OBVIOUSLY AM NOT OVERSELLING OR OVERHYPING THE BENZ AND SO IT'S CLEAR YOU ARE EXPECTING PERFECTION. THIS IS A PENNY AUCTON WITH NO RESERVE. I AM TAKING A GREAT RISK HERE. BASED ON MY DESCRIPTIONS, YOU NOW KNOW NOT TO EXPECT A MINT CONDITION VEHICLE. THERE ARE GOING TO BE ADDITIONAL FLAWS AND EVEN SOME GOOD SURPRISES TOO. PLEASE NOTE THAT COMMON SENSE DICTATES THAT NO ONE SHOULD ATTEMPT TO DRIVE THIS CAR ACROSS OUR GREAT COUNTRY (INSTEAD HAVE IT SHIPPED TO YOU) I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE WITH HER AND WILL NOT WITH GOOD CONSCIOUS PERMIT YOU TO DO SO, SHE'S THIRTY FIVE YEARS OLD AND IT'S 106 DEGREES HERE. ENOUGH SAID THERE, SO WE ALL AGREE TO SHIP IT. BE PRUDENT AND SMART. OLDER CARS CAN LEAK OR SQUEEK OR HAVE ITEMS THAT ARE WEAK, SO REMEMBER SHE'S ALL YOURS, ANY FIXING WILL BE AT YOUR EXPENSE NOT MINE. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO BID IF YOU FULLY PLAN ON COMPLETING THE TRANSACTION. PLEASE DO NOT BID THEN MAKE DEMANDS. AGAIN YOU ARE WELCOME TO SEE HER PRIOR TO BIDDING. OF NOTE IS THAT THE SPEEDOMETER IS WORKING, YES SPEEDO WORKS BUT I NOTICED THE ODOMETER SEEMS TO BE STICKING. THEREFORE IN GOOD FAITH I AM COMPELLED TO BE SELLING THIS MERCEDES BENZ AS TMU OR TRUE MILES UNKNOWN ( INDICATING "NOT ACTUAL MILES" BECAUSE I DO NOTICE THAT THE ODOMETER IS STICKING IN PLACE AND NOT PROGRESSING NUMERICALLY AND I JUST WANT TO BE FAIR WITH EVERYONE ). BUYER WILL PAY FOR ANY AND ALL SHIPPING CHARGES. PAYMENT MUST FULLY CLEAR MY BANK BEFORE THE VEHICLE LEAVES MY POSSESSION. THE 1 CENT AUCTION MEANS A GREAT DEAL FOR YOU. A BUSINESS I OWN CURRENTLY OWNS THIS VEHICLE, SO ANY ARIZONA BUYERS WILL PAY 8.9% SALES TAX. I WILL NOT COLLECT ANY TAX FROM OUT OF STATE BUYERS AS WE ARE AGREEING THAT IT WILL BE SHIPPED BY A CARRIER, SO IT IS UP TO YOU TO FIGURE (AND PAY AT YOUR EXPENSE) IF YOU OWE YOUR STATE OR JURISDICTION ANY TAX MONEY ONCE THE CAR ARRIVES TO YOU. ENJOY THIS COOL LITTLE CAR AND I HOPE YOU HAVE FUN WITH THE MERCEDES. THANKS AND GOOD LUCK.
