These cars will be the next line of Mercedes to increase in value along with the other models. Owning and maintaining a classic car is a labor of love. It is becoming increasingly difficult to find parts for these cars. I invite you to find a quality mechanic at a reasonable price to service the mechanicals on a car like this. It takes time and attention to detail. On Nov-18-15 at 13:10:18 PST, seller added the following information: The Buy Now Price has been reduced to $24,000. This is not a distress sale. This is a very reasonable price for a car of this value.
