FS: Friend (Mercedes Tech) 1995 E420 Drives Great $999.99

I have a friend who is a tech here at the local dealer who is selling his 1995 E420. He purchased it exactly 1 year ago at 112,000 miles, and the odometer quit on him a few months ago at 120,000 miles. He purchased a Jaguar XJR from me, and does not have the desire to finish some of the odds and ends this car needs, but it will drive anywhere right now. He does not want to mess with the craigslist crowd.

Bad: Rough exterior (green) and interior (light tan). Not rusty, but baked paint and torn/stained interior. One deep dent below the driver's tail light. Other scratches and dents throughout. Other than the dent where the paint came off, no rust that I know of. AC has a busted line, no investigation as to whether the compressor and evaporator are good. One door panel is off as well as no stereo. He was going to replace the speaker and put in a new head unit but could not find the desire/time. With the new car he now has no desire.

Good: Starts, runs, and drives great. New brakes pads all around and front rotors. Wheels are off of a 99 SL500, painted black. Heat, windows, sunroof all work fine. No electrical gremlins that I know of. Wiring harness looks fine. Non-ASR car, so no pesky traction control.

It's already dark, so no photos tonight. I'll post in the morning as well as reacquaint myself with the car as its been almost a year since I've driven it. I was very impressed with the way it drove. Price is in the beater, no apologies category for a ready to go anywhere car.

Ok, drove and took photos.

Still a very nice driving car. Only problem I noticed was a clunk on the front right suspension under heavy bumps. Only did it a few times. Engine bay and underneath still look leak free. Pulls very hard, shifts perfect, brakes perfect. No warning lights, all windows/sunroof work. Easy to whip around and break lose. Lots of fun.

In addition to the door panel, the rear speaker covers have been removed. Everything is there to be put back together, including new speakers.
