Vehicle Detail

1993 400e for sale in really nice shapeAfter 4+ years I have moved to another car.The 400e has served me well but I need to sell it.It is cosmetically in nice shape. Spent most of it's years in a garage in the Palisades and then here in Hollywood. So, no sun damage to rubber or paint. The only reason that it is now on the street is that I bought a different car which is now in the garage where this one spent last 4 years. Has a couple minor dents that could probably get yanked out by one of those paintless dent removal guys. Got rear ended by an idiot last fall, did minor damage near trunk button, seen in photos. Car has never been repainted to my knowledge. Sunroof was recently dented by some crack head morons but opens & closes fine.I just had Johann's do a complete front & rear brake service. He was also going to replace the ETA but it turned out it just needed a set of spark plugs. So, it has new plugs as well as a spare used ETA boxed and ready in trunk. 'In the 4 years I have had car I have fixed:1. Transmission completely rebuilt.2. New OEM motor mounts3. New OEM Fan Clutch4. New front flex disc (didn't actually need it, so I still have original as spare)5. New wiring harness (used one, but made long after MB switched to real wire, have used one as well)6. New driver's window regulator7. New front brake rotors8. New cap & rotors (distributor)9. New Goodyear 215 tires in last 5K miles.10. Has the 1992 ECU for an extra splurt of gas at WOT. Good for 7-15hp. (have '93 ECU as backup)11. Added the Rainbow front speakers in dash, much nicer high frequencies. ($400)12. Has keyless entry with 2 clickers. Flashes lights but no chirping.13. Power Steering pump was rebuilt due to leaking. No leaks at all now.14. New Serp BeltIt is black with black leather, no ASR. I'm pretty sure it has spent it's whole life in SoCal, never been anywhere with snow or even rain. Clean Title. AC works but could probably use a refresh. It is a R134a car from the get go, so nice & easy to deal with. Seats have very minor cracks, etc but no tears. Armrest decent. I took out the console clutter box but I still have it stored indoors.Still has original rims and owners manual book, etc. 3 Keys all work on all the locks, etc.Drives incredibly smoothly, quite powerful car and very solid over bumps. Life here in SoCal means it has no corrosion, no salt damage, and most metal looks nearly new.123,500 miles. Passed SMOG in June with flying colors. Now for the minor issues remaining. The power antenae does not work. The headliner is losing it's fight with gravity and will need to be dealt with before it falls completely. The Oil Pressure gauge fluctuates when it is cold but is fine once warm, I believe it may just need a new sender. The Sound System is original Becker, sounds fine when used with a Cassette adapter and an iPod or iPhone, though you have to wiggle the tape adapter sometimes. The reverse lights don't come on, I think the connector fell off the tranny.Car is solid and quiet, cruise control works perfectly. Power seats & memory work just fine too. Seats are insanely comfortable and have remarkably little wear for being 19 years old.The doors have that bank vault close sound that makes you want to close them again just to hear it.Car is available to be seen & tested in Hollywood. You are welcome to arrange an inspection in LA area as long as you pay for it.I have spent my 4 years tracking down problems and making this car better than when I bought it. I would love to see it go to someone here who wants to continue keeping it up instead of some poser who just wants to buy a Mercedes for peanuts and drive it into the ground.Don't bother wasting my time with Scams or other Flim Flam attempts. Local Cash Payment or we drive to your bank and you cash a check in my presence. Please note that this is a 400E, in later years the same car was called E420.
