Odometer reads 149,000 miles but rebuilt engine installed at 131,000 miles. I am the third owner. Original owner sold to a collector and then I bought from him in 2008. Since I bought the car it has been driven 9,000 miles. It has always been garaged. It has been serviced by Cars of Distinction in Shallotte NC (910-754-7711). The owner is Ray. Feel free to ask him any questions. Car runs great. I have all service records for review by buyer. A/C blows cold.In the time that I owned it Cars replaced the suspension, front end, steering rod, ball joints and shocks. It has a factory rebuilt Becker radio with a new retractable, electric antenna. New OEM floor mats. I was able to locate an original Mercedes first aid kit which goes in a case behind the passenger seat. It has a hardtop with an EZ Top electric lift for easy removal by one person. The soft top is new and has hardly been used. Normally I used the car with the hardtop or as a convertible with no top but its important to have a soft top that is new in case of rain.It has Kumo tires which have plenty of miles left on them.When I got the car it had some road rash. I purchased a kit from Dr. Colorchip and was able to get those chips repaired. I think that the car is in much better shape than the average 27 year old Mercedes. I am 65 years old with a deteriorating lower back condition making it a little hard on me to enter and exit and that is the primary reason for selling. This is a third car for us and it really should be driven and enjoyed by someone who will appreciate it. It is in head-turning condition so you will get lots of compliments.
