i might have a few places

with a little seepage but no areas of wetness.

and no mine has no air bags and no abs. it is amazingly simple. the fi is all mechanical with no computer. the big maintenance items have been the seat switches from lack of use i guess. the drivers is fine but the pass seat switch seem s to act up on a regular basis. some minor problems with the windows too. and the blue dash cover is cracked and the cloth coverings on the rear shelf are pretty faded too.

but the engine is very very solid. absolutely no blow by and no oil consumption. i have had it about four years and put on 53k. the original owner had it 18 years and did 80k.

it is maybe the nicest and best benz i have owned. the handling is very sporty and it will get up and go!
