My car is on the block, I know it ain't worth much but if your serious lets talk. I'll get pictures Sunday and put some up, plus my complete service records once I find a computer that can still take a floppy disc. I'm selling it because of life changes, I need to focus on my business. Its a fantastic car and I am having a hard time doing this.

The good:
$15k spent on parts since 2004. Everything works except cruise control, strongly suspect its the amp.

The car is reliable, tight and drives well.

To many new parts to list, you name it and its probably been changed since 04.

3in binder full of records from what I have done!

Super rare velour interior! Its in good shape with one small rip on the drivers seat bolster. IE typical MB spot. Suprisingly velour wears like iron!

The bad:
Needs paint, but if you buff it up it doesn't look to bad. I still get a lot of compliments.

Some rust on teh front wings, but nothing new front fenders can't fix. Also some rust under the rear windsheild. I have the new metal part you can weld in if you want.

Also plan on doing front brakes soon, they are getting pretty worn.(rear brakes are fine) Could stand an alighment too.

277k and I'm asking $3,500 OBO with the AT wheels, that have 1 year old Yoko's on them, aprox 8k miles on the tires. If you offer me a lot less the wheels may not come with it, we can talk about them.

I store the car inside in the winter, its currantly in my garage. If you want to test drive it let me know, and please only if you are serious. I'll have to put the wheels back on it and put it on insurance.

Here are some videos of this past summer when I was messing around. Notice the temperature on the dash, which is accurite, and the temp guage.

This car runs cool...after a $400 Behr radiator, water pump, oil cooler, etc, etc, I would damn well expect it to. I have never seen much above 95c during my ownership, even when the temps were in the triple digits and I was in traffice with the AC cranked. 90% of the time the guage sits where you see it in the video, right above the 80C line.
