This cars name is Pandora NO Reserve Click below for picture collage. Pandora is the one of the sexiest coupes you will ever see on the road. I have been collecting these specific cars for almost a decade and am selling off a car collection (see my other listings). You may never see a car like this again. Paint code 501 which is a nice bright metallic red! It's an extremely rare color combo... most of the red coupes are a burgundy color. In the past I have received a feedback rating of 100% and I take pride in knowing that I am making automotive dreams come true. I will work with you if you need time to organize financing just ask. The car is a one owner vehicle with service records. As a collector I never trust a car sale (on Ebay especially) that has no service records to substantiate the true miles and these cars are especially prone to odometer roll back because OM617 diesels are such an amazing design and the engines show very little age. The price on the car is based on the rarity, condition, color, miles, wheels and service records. You can also text / call me with offers or questions at 323-528-3246 I do reserve the right to remove the auction at any time for any reason. Remember Ebay prohibits the removal of an auction within 24 hours of its completion so if you contact me with cash offers please do not wait until the last minute. This car is going up in value every year so chances are you will be able to sell it for more than you bought it for provided you care for it. *7502 total of this car where made and who knows how many have survived especially in this condition. This is a RARE red and in my opinion my favorite! Ok that all being said... I'll try to include all the info I can: This is a 1 Owner vehicle with excellent CarFax History - this car came from San Diego and was bought new by the father who is too old to drive and then given to his son. The son and I had mutual friends in the entertainment business.Complete all point inspection - fluids, oils and filters checked and/or replacedMaintenance done at regular intervals with no expense sparedReceipts and logs of all upkeep done over the years including insurance documentsOriginal Mercedes glove compartment owners manual and maintenance booksEnvelope of service records over the yearsGaraged and babiedPaint looks pristine - one or two little paint nicks or imperfections The car has a log book. A hand written note book of service dating back to the nineties plus the regular glove compartment books.Clear California title Registration to Dec 2016 - these cars never need a smog check they are smog exemptInsurance is unbelievably cheap with collector car insurance, I pay $280 for full coverage a year! If you are buying this car you should look into it. Bumpers show no chrome wear or scuffingBrakes in excellent conditionParking brake also excellentRubber parts all around look superb and subtle with no signs of age whatsoeverSeals are factory plump and doors shut like a vacuum - clunk... that Mercedes engineering air pocket thump when the door shutsWindow rubber seals are excellent with windows shutting as they should not letting air or water enter the cabinGrill as new with inserts and chrome showing zero age No leaksClean under carriage with no leaks or any rust of any kindBushings are excellentSuspension and shocks are A1Steering feels great with power assist in factory condition - no play at allAlignment is straight as an arrowEngine compartment clean and not detailed, this is the way this car sits, it's that good.

I found an almost perfect set of aluminum (not chromed) billet Bundt wheels for this car. The chrome wheels are going for about $400 each now but these are the billet ones and are impossible to find. I have about $3000 alone just in the billet wheels, silver caps, matching Mercedes lugs and new tires.
