Beautiful car
Only 2 owners it's whole life
Transmission and engine both original and rebuilt in 1990, it does leak oil. High quality paint job in 1990 still looks amazing although there are some flaws, a few minor clear coat clouds and 4 minor rust spots.
Mercedes Benz extra gas tank factory installed in trunk
No tears in seats and carpet is still beautiful
Headliner is good but is starting to loosen around sunroof, could be an easy fix,
the sunroof is not working, may be minor, you can still hear the motor working but it will not open (mechanic said it is most likely the cable).
Dash is a high quality molded cover, it's hard to tell that it is not original and looks perfect, there is some damage/peeling around the ignition were the key is inserted.
Tires are good, brakes are also good.
It will need motor mounts for a more comfortable ride but other than that the car runs and drives well as specially considering its age. I just put $1,700.00 into it a few months ago.
It will not take much for the car to be as close to perfect as can be - or just drive it the way it is, it's a statement car and I get compliments every time I take it out.
I have the Original sales slip, as well as the paperwork for engine and transmission rebuild and all of the maintenance records from day one in a folder that is very thick.
Car needs a new owner that will baby it, I have purchased a new car and don't want it to sit, I feel guilty letting it sit as its too beautiful to not be driven.
I have owned this car for 6 years and maintained it and the previous owner pampered it almost obsessively.
It has been serviced by Mercedes of Escondido, All German in Escondido and German Autoworks in Carlsbad.
