I HAVE BEEN DRIVING VINTAGE MERCEDES FOR YEARS BECAUSE THEY ARE GREAT CARS. I WAS BIDDING ON 2 CARS AND WON THEM BOTH, 1 HAS TO GO BECAUSE I JUST DON'T HAVE THE ROOM FOR BOTH. THIS WAS A SOUTH WEST CAR UNTIL 1 MONTH AGO AND I DON'T WANT IT TO SPEND A WINTER IN MICHIGAN! IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS I HAVE HAD INSTALLED A NEW BATTERY, NEW FUEL FILTERS, AIR FILTER, MAIN VACUUM LINE FROM BOOSTER, NEW HAND PUMP, AND FUEL HOSES TO THE INJECTOR LINES, THE ENGINE HAS GREAT COMPRESSION, ALSO HAS NEW DASH BULBS AND HEAD LIGHT. AS WE SPEAK THE CAR IS HAVING A COMPLETE EXHAUST SYSTEM FRONT TO BACK INSTALLED! I HAD THE CAR COMPLETELY DETAILED INSIDE AND OUT. THE MECHANICAL WORK WAS PERFORMED BY "EURO-TECH" A VERY HIGHLY RESPECTED MERCEDES SHOP NEAR DETROIT. THE OWNER OF THE SHOP WAS IMPRESSED WITH HOW SOLID THE CAR IS AND THE LACK OF RUST, EVEN UNDERNEATH. THE COLOR IS A TEAL LIKE GREEN WITH TAN INTERIOR. LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN RE-PAINTED AT ONE TIME, NOT THE BEST PAINT JOB I EVER SEEN BUT FAR FROM THE WORST, SHINES GREAT! IT DOES HAVE A COUPLE OF SCRATCHES AND DINGS, A COLOR SANDING WOULD GO A LONG WAY ON THIS ONE! INTERIOR IS IN GOOD SHAPE WITH NO TEARS IN THE MB-TEX AND THE SEATS ARE STILL FIRM. CARPETS ARE GOOD, DASH HAS A COUPLE SMALL CRACKS THAT ARE VERY COMMON. THE STEREO IS A SONY AM/FM CD FLIP DOWN WITH FACTORY SPEAKERS. THIS CAR STARTS AT THE "TOUCH" OF THE KEY AND IDLES SMOOTH. IT WAS 20 DEGREES HERE YESTERDAY AND IT FIRED RIGHT UP WITHOUT A BLOCK HEATER! THE TURBO SPOOLS GREAT AND IT HAS NO BLOW-BY! THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS TIGHT AND SOLID WITH NO HESITATION, BETTER THAN MY 300E. THE BEST PART IS THAT IT DOESN'T LEAK A DROP! THE BRAKES AND TIRES ARE GOOD, NO RATTLES OR SQUEAKS AND THE CAR IS AMAZINGLY TIGHT FOR THE YEAR. THE SPARE TIRE LOOKS LIKE IT'S NEVER BEEN ON THE ROAD. THE GLASS IS ALL CLEAR AND ALL THE LIGHTS WORK, ALL THE WINDOWS WORK ALSO! THIS IS NOT A SHOW CAR BUT IS A VERY RESPECTABLE/PRESENTABLE DRIVER WITH GREAT CURB APPEAL. IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A "GETAWAY" CAR THIS ISN'T FOR YOU, BUT NOT AS SLOW AS I WAS EXPECTING IT TO BE. I HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THE MAJOR THINGS BUT IT WILL STILL NEED A FEW MORE MINOR REPAIRS. THE VACUUM DOOR LOCKS HAVE A LEAK SO YOU HAVE TO USE THE KEY. THE SUNROOF DOES NOT SEEM TO BE GETTING POWER TO IT, POSSIBLY THE SWITCH. I CANT TEST THE AIR CONDITIONING BECAUSE OF THE TEMPERATURE HERE BUT EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE ENGAGING, THE HEAT IS GREAT! IT NEEDS AN OUTER TIE ROD BEFORE YOU TAKE A LONG TRIP, $35 HERE ON EBAY. THIS CAR EASILY HAS ANOTHER 300,000 MILES LEFT IN IT! THIS CAR IS BEING SOLD AS IS WHERE IS AND NO WARRANTY IS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED! DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU INTEND TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THE SALE!
