Up for sale is a classic example of Mercedes Benz's R129 model. The overall exterior of the car is in very good condition with only one small chip on the hood and a scratch on the right front fender. There are no door dings on either of the sides and the bumper has no scratches. The paint has no signs of oxidation and looks as good in person as it does in pictures. The left front turn signal's bottom bracket is broken but very hard to notice unless you are up close and the light (turn signal) works just fine so I haven't replaced it. The left side mirror is faded and the rear view mirror's plastic frame is cracked but both still work and are not noticeable. Mechanically the car is a great driver. Both the engine and transmission have no leaks and operate smoothly - No abrupt transmission shifts or clanking engine valves. A/C works very well and has no problem cooling the car despite 95+ Summer days. I replaced the alternator less than a week ago and all electronics work with the exception of the A/C fan direction gauge. Although it will blow A/C through the front vents, the diagram arrow will not appear. All aspects of the convertible work great - hard top, soft top, and bow (roll bar) extension. I've noticed a small leak of hydraulic fluid only after operating the convertible but that's to be expected on 15 yr old car. Unlike most convertible tops, this one shows no signs of the canvas fading or rear window blemishing from excessive sun exposure. See video of this car's soft top in action - http://youtu.be/vOPjDf-5hF4 All four tires are in good condition with roughly 75% tread life left on the rears and 60% left on the fronts. This is your chance to own a 90k + car at a fraction of the cost! Good luck bidding!!
