1971 Mercedes 250 sedan
1971 Mercedes-Benz 200-Series Base Description:
Excellent driver, take it any to a car show it attracts attention it is very good looking. It has Mercedes repair records from 1971 to 1976 when the speedometer was changed at 73,639. It now reads 104K miles so it is true mileage unknown. A compression test reads 130,150,130,150,125,150. It has lots of power and does not overheat or blow smoke.It starts easily and runs well when cold. The original carburetors are in the trunk. My mechanic just sealed and adjusted the valves. Runs smoothly, the transmission shifts fine on all four gears. The car has had a lot of work done on the suspension, the transmission was rebuilt in 2006, exhaust system has been replaced and looks good, fairly new tires, new front brakes and rotors just done. One-inch folder of repair records comes with the car. The paint is nice and shiny, good paint job was done several years ago but it presents itself very well. One small dent on the left front fender and a missing the reflector light on the rear fender. The hood has a small paint chip. The interior is clean but there are a couple of small tears on the front seat and the back seat. Clean headliner and visors. Good chrome all around. The radio works as well as all the instruments like the heater fan and controls for temperature and defrost. The A/C was removed, the compressor and the original carbs are in the trunk with the original connections and parts. All the lights work except for the yellow fog lamps. The floors are very clean with no rust showing. Original Mercedes repair and maintenance books are in the car. Please ask questions, when you do I can attach several pics if you need them.
