Feeler: Thinking of selling my 98 E300

I havn't been driving it much lately.. thinking of putting it up for sale. She's got nearly 252,000 miles.. I bought it earlier this year (March 05) in Memphis with 227,000.. drove it home. I have all service records since new, I'm the 2nd owner.

It runs fantastic. Uses ZERO oil. Has a cleaned intake and EGR. Newer front pads. New inner tie rods. Brand new Yokohama tires (around 1,000 miles). I just had the entire car professionally buffed, waxed and a back door repainted because of a deep scratch. Also had a thin red and grey pinstripe put on.. looks amazing. Every power option works as it should, including A/C and climate control. No accidents ever.

It does have some injector knock, may need injector service but there are no issues on how it runs because of this. The trans has a slight flare from 2-3 when fully warmed up. All other gears are fine. It has been like this since I bought it (was not disclosed to me when I purchased it sight-unseen) and has not changed one bit. I've debated having the trans rebuilt by an MB master tech, but the problem is simply not bad enough to justify a $2000 repair bill, IMO. I had the trans serviced at the local MB dealer.. did not change anything.

Southern car all it's life, absolutely no rust. I don't have to sell it, and I'm not even sure if I want to.. just putting out a feeler. Any interest?
