This is the first of my deceased father-in-law's Benzes. Love them to death but my wife and I do not have the garage space.

This is an old-ish 116 in impeccable condition. The body is practically perfect. My father in law bought this in 2002 and it had some paint crackles on the hood which were repaired and the hood repainted. Smells like horsehair but not stale or wet horsehair. NO sunroof!

A/C blows cold (manual controls), and the factory cruise control (located on the dashboard in a very inconvenient place) works! Replaced the bulbs in the instrument panel. Trip odometer needs checking.. stops at 1 mile. Odometer at 138,000 miles works.

Trunk seal needs replacing (leaks in the rain,) the replacement seal is included.

Tires have excellent treadlife on Michelin MXV's. Runs real strong, probably needs the old hit-the-gas hard cleanout. Brakes seem good, gave a warning light on the dash, was a bit low on fluid. No more light and stops firm. Suspension great, really feels like you're driving a boat. No noticeable vibrations.

Blue dash (surprise!) has a crack towards the center of the dash, covered with a velour blue cover.

Also has a sheepskin seat cover which I have in the back seat. Also has a filtravedo rear window glare shade.

Father in law replaced the lights with euro lights last year.

The car is staying local, it was bought by a neighbor who couldn't resist after jogging by the car for a few weeks.
