CON's: All Pretty minor

-207k miles so there is a little bit of play in the wheel that I noticed
-It has a blue MB tex int. but the back seat is black, Dont know the story on that, although it doesn't stand out real bad.
-The hood is sun faded and the trunk lid has a few small cleaecoat scratches from people setting things on it.
-The drivers door has a small dent with some minor clearcoat scratches. I think the scratches would buff out though,
they don't seem to be very deep, I also think the dent would pop out if you removed the door panel and pushed on it.
-Non Op. A/C , although the A/C clutch engages when supplied with power.
-Dash pad has cracks in it
-Drivers side headlamp collects a small bit of condensation inside during the wet months but goes away once the lights are on for a short while.
-Drivers seat feels a little worn down
-Radio antenna is stuck in the "up" position
-No maintenance records from previous owner

All in All though, a great old Merc.
