baby polar bear pics --- new 300SDL

Okay, guys, here are some pics of "baby polar bear". She has a decent blue interior --- no tears in seats, traditional 3 cracks in the dash, original cell phone, very nice MB OEM mats without any buckling, and a very tasteful, classy install of a CD changer deck in the trunk. You will notice the auto sensing device in the coin change "pocket".

I don't like a white exterior car. This is the finest 1986 300SDL that I have ever seen with the original paint. Obviously, garage kept, one family, 2 owner car, all service records, and a fuse cover that is clean enough to eat off of.

a few more pics

A few more --- please note the original instruction card on the jack in the trunk. I haven't opened the 2 toolkit pouches yet. The odometer is accurate --- see service book; dealer stamped, etc, all receipts.

Now that looks like one clean SDL. Too bad you aren't keeping it. It is certainly worthy! But somebody will certainly enjoy the car, and you will enjoy your big pile of $$$$.....

Good Point. I guess I'll have to search the maintenance records for brake fluid flushes.

Super Blue has a tint but it's still transluscent.

I'm going to go give it the taste test and see if it is fresh oil or not.

What is that? I'll have to look on Coda and see if she does.
