Very nice Mercedes. Originaly purchased in Florida, it was inherited by my sister in 1989. It spent the next 20 years in Connecticut. It was never driven in the snow and stored in a garage. Last summer it was passed on to me. It's not a practical car for me so time for this one to go to a good home. It includes what looks like all service records from the time it was purchased. All literature as well as a Mercedes tool kit are included. I put on about 14,000 miles in the last year. I have the original keys. The good: Good tires (Michelin). The body is very nice. I know it had minor body work from an accident several years ago. The receipt is included in the papework. All lights work. I put a new radio in with an aux port and USB for my I-pod. Original radio is included. The interior looks like new! Check out the pictures of the seats. The back seat looks unused. A few small stains on the carpet but nothing noticeable. The body is staight and the paint and chrome are very nice. I had new brakes installed earlier this year. The paperwork I have shows the car at 100,000 miles in 2000. It had 125,000 when I brought it to Ohio in June 2009. It is a very nice, clean, fast and smooth riding car. Power sunroof works, lighter works. Never smoked in and no pets! Power front bucket seats work as do the seat heaters. The back seats are also heated and the bench is a power bench. The Bad: Back drivers window works but goes off track when all the way down. Air needs a recharge. I had it in for service and the tech recomemded a new cam on the right side. He quoted $2,000. I passed. It runs fine and the price seemed a little high. I have the written quote for this. It has a few chips in the paint from rocks... I can take additional pics and the car is available for inspection. The plastic intake hoses under the hood have a few small cracks which were repaired with electrical tape. Burlwood cover on glove box broken. I ahve a replacement that will be installed by end of auction. Small crack on driver door hanldle platic insert (shows in pic) Ask question, I have 100% positive feedback. Clear Ohio title. Thanks!
