Hello and thanks for looking.  This Mercedes runs like a champion.  I had stored it for over 2.5 years, and put a new battery in it and it started right up with no issues.  There are no leaks from the engine and it is very strong.  You can buy it, fly in and drive home!!!   As you can see by the photos, the body is straight, but can use new paint.  There is normal wear and tear for a vehicle of this age.  List of things that could use replacement for the ultimate ride: The brakes squeak and will need new rotors/shoes.  The windshield has a crack.  The rear shocks will need replacement as its a little rough in the rear...the front shocks are new.  The A/C has been converted to the new system, but will need recharge and the blower has been replaced, heat works well.  There are minor interior needs....front seats have some wear and some trim will need a bit of TLC.  The sunroof needs a new track arm, but the motor works well. List of things that are new: The Goodyear tires are new and have about 1 year of use. New battery. Rebuilt starter. The ignition switch has been replaced with a new tumbler/key, different than doors.  The mechanic that replaced the ignition switch said that this vehicle runs better than any other Merc of its age he has seen.  really in truly, you can fly in and drive home.  The brakes are a bit squishy and I would recommend them before driving.  The transmission is smooth.  This vehicle drives itself and is very smooth on the highway. I have listed all that I know needs replacement etc.  Any questions, just ask..... I moved from Oregon where it is stored to Hawaii and although I love the vehicle, my friends don't want it stored at their home anymore....sad, but its time to part. Mahalo
