Runs OK, looks great, although has some gremlins in it. So, I would consider it as wholesale parts purchase rather than a vehicle purchase, unless you have time to fix it. Alloy rims 18", tires Pirelli Cinturato 245/45R18, transmission and engine works as suppose to, it has MB battery and test showing good condition, AC works, catalytic converter is in place. Recently replaced engine and transmission mounts, head gasket and spark plugs. All dash instruments works fine, but do not show total mileage. Car can be locked manually only. Speaking of gremlins, can tell you that vehicle was slowly draining electric power when in park. After three days of investigation at Mercedes Benz dealership, considering remaining value of the vehicle, it was advised by mechanics that it make much more sense just to install simple on-off switch on battery terminal to stop drain indefinitely ($5.00), rather than continue spending further $140/hr on wiring analysis. However, I suspect that problem could be in that thick cable coming from the back of the vehicle into the trunk. The other point of attention is Airmatic suspension. All of four struts were replaced at some point on rebuild Mercedes Benz struts from Arnott Air Suspension Products in Meritt Island, FL. Struts has life-time warranty and could be replaced at any time by direct request. So, it might be time to do it soon. Head gaskets, spark plugs, spark cables, gasket between engine and transmission, most of engine rubber hoses and connections were replaced about 5,000-7,000 miles ago in order to stop and prevent possible oil leak. Vehicle has absolutely clean engine. Starts and run without any problems. Thinking of this purchase keep in mind extremely low asking price level, no set reserve and, as mentioned in this vehicle description, I treat this deal more like a parts wholesale rather than a vehicle. Title in hand. Local pick up only. PayPal, cash or cashier check. Any bidder with zero or negative feedback will have their bid temporarily blocked until it can verify their contact information. Bidding in this case is subject to approval.
