Sale didnt happen, son got involved and nixed sale! Dad knew what he wanted...son clueless.

Needless to say still for sale.

Some random thoughts meant to help...not to criticize. I mention these because it's hard to judge the condition from the pics you've provided.

I think selling a car is kinda like dating....what you see first....is what "attracts" or in your case....catches the eye of the potential car buyer.

Has your car had a good bath & wax job recently? Make the sucker shine.....

Ditto for the interior. After you vacuum the interior, vacuum the trunk ,and then I pop the hood and vacuum underneath the wipers where sticks and leaves collect. Usually the local car wash will have a cheap shampoo device you can use after you vacuum.You'd be surprised what the cheapo shampooers will do to soiled carpets.

Some tire shine/tire wet on the tires...and I don't just apply it to just the sidewall, I do the whole tire.

Clean every window inside and out....and do it twice

Take a wet rag or "appropriate" cleaner and wipe down the engine and clean around the engine compartment, so when you pop the hood there's something to show...not a dirty, old looking engine.

Consider buying new carpets....I know there pricey....at least for the front.

And last but not least......get a good smelling air freshener. Guys react to a great smelling woman......give your Benz that smell.

Not a lot of cost involved, but a lot of "elbow grease".

BTW, I have a wife and 3 daughters, so I gave this some consideration before offering suggestions to the opposite sex!

Hope it helps.

Elbow grease and cleaner wax go a long way
With these single stage painted cars.
Cleaning the engine bay is of help too.
Dont understand when or why someone is
Selling a car, why they dont clean the heck
Out of it before selling.
Elbow grease already applied
Points taken thanks
