I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE 1998. BOUGHT FROM A DOCTOR. HE HAD KEPT IT IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION. I HAVE TRIED TO KEEP THE INTEGRITY OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED, ETC. OVER THE YEARS I HAVE UPGRADES PARTS. IT HAS A STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST. REPLACE THE EGR VALVE SEVERAL YEARS AGO. WINDOWS TINTED BLACK LAST YEAR. HAD A VALVE ADJUSTMENT. FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS JUST REPLACED. BRAKES WERE INSPECTED AND GOOD. NEW IGNITION SWITCH WAS ADDED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO ( RUBBER SEAL THAT COVERS HOLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED). TIMING CHAIN REPLACED OVER LAST SEVERAL YEARS. BILSTEIN SHOCKS. IT HAS DUAL GAS TANKS. IT CAN GO APPROX. 1200 MILES ON THE TANKS. FUEL INJECTORS REPLACED WITH VERY GOOD USED REPLACEMENTS OVER LAST SEVERAL YEARS. ENGINE WORKS WITHOUT FAIL. ITS A 5 CYLINDER 3.0 LITER TURBO DIESEL. THE PAINT HAS ALWAYS BEEN REGULARLY POLISHED ONLY WITH LIQUID GLASS. IT HAS HELD ITS OWN PRETTY WELL OVER THE YEARS BUT HAS THE SIGNS OF TIME WITH SOME CORROSION (AS PICTURED). BUT THE PAINT STILL SHINES ( AS PICTURED). NEED A FRONT END ALIGNMENT . RECENTLY HAD ONE DONE AT FIRESTONE ( HAVE RECEIPT ). THEY SAID QUOTE: CASTER BAR ON PASSENGER SIDE ADJ BOLT INSIDE SLEEVE COMPLETELY ROUNDED OFF. THEY SAID IT WOULD COST AROUND $100.00 TO REPLACE. DRIVES FINE OTHER THAN PULLS TO THE RIGHT AND DRIVES FINE UP TO 55 MILES PER HOUR THEN CAR SHIMMIES UNTIL THE CASTER BAR IS REPLACED. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT FIX IT. WOULD HAVE TO GO TO CERTIFIED MECHANIC TO FIX. SAID YOU COULD DRIVE IT UNTIL ALIGNMENT GOES OUT AGAIN. EVERYTHING WORKS BUT BOTH REAR DOOR WINDOWS. SHOULD BE EASY FIX. IT HAS EUROPEAN HEAD LITES, A NICE LOOK. HAS CB RADIO. DASH LEATHER TOP LOOKS GREAT. NO RIP OR TEARS IN IT( AS SHOWN IN PICTURES). VERY LITTLE CORROSION UNDERNEATH. NO LEAKS OF ANY KIND. INTERIOR, AS YOU WOULD EXPECT, HAS NORMAL WEAR. SEATS ARE FADED AND CRACKED. CEILING IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE ( AS SEEN IN PICTURE). THINGS BROKEN INCLUDE VISOR MIRROR COVERS ( AS PICTURED) , 3RD BRAKE LITE WORKS BUT IS BROKE OFF BASE. SEAT BELT LEATHER IS RIPPED ( AS SHOWN IN PICTURES)ALL GLASS GOOD EXCEPT FOR SMALL CHIP IN FRONT WINDOW. ALL GUAGES WORK BUT SOMETIME FLICKER, WHICH MIGHT HAVE TO CHECK GROUNDING WIRE. AIRCONDITIONING REFRESHED LAST YEAR, BLOWS COLD AIR. TIRE AND WHEELS ON PICTURE OF CAR DO NOT COME WITH CAR. THEY ARE NEW AND MY SON WANTS THEM ON HIS 300SE. HE WILL PUT HIS TIRES ON THIS CAR. THERE ARE INDIVIDUAL PICTURES OF 2 OF THE 4 TIRES AND WHEELS THAT WILL COME WITH THIS CAR ( WE ONLY COULD SHOW 2 BECAUSE LIMITED TO 24 PICTURES FOR AD). TIRES HAVE A LITTLE WEAR LEFT BUT SHOULD BE REPLACED AT SOME POINT. WHEEL HAVE GOUGING AND NORMAL SCRATCHES ON IT( AS SEEN IN PICTURES). THIS CAR HAS APPROX. 226,000 MILE BUT THESE ENGINES ARE KNOWN TO RUN UP TO 500,000 MILES WITH PROPER MAINTENANCE. DRIVEN DAILY TO WORK AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO UNTIL SOLD. IT HAS BEEN MORE RELIABLE THAN ANY CAR ( OTHER THAN MY OTHER MERCEDES ) I HAVE EVER OWNED. I AM A AVID LOVER OF THE 126 BODY SYLES AND OWN A 560SEL AS WELL. HATE TO PART WITH IT BUT WILL BE RETIRING IN A FEW YEARS AND CONSOLIDATIN TOYS. THIS CAR AVERAGES ABOUT 30-35 MILES PER GALLON. HAVE ALL RECEIPTS SINCE I OWNED IT. BEING SOLD AS-IS WITH NO WARRANTEES. THIS IS A BINDING CONTRACT SO DONT BID UNLESS YOUR PLANNING ON BUYING. I HAVE TRIED TO BE ACCURATE WITH DESCRIPTION OF CAR, BUT WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MISPRINTS OR EMISSIONS. CAN BE CONVERTED TO VEGETABLE OIL FUEL. ALSO, INCLUDES A HITCH WHICH CAME WITH THE CAR. I HAVE NEVER USED IT. YOU CAN PROBABLY PULL A VERY SMALL TRAILER . THE REAR BUMPER HAS BEEN REINFORCED TO HITCH. I WILL TRUELY MISS THIS CAR.
