Anthracite Grey exterior in nice shape with Parchment leather interior also in nice shape. 203,500 miles, originally purchased at ******** on Edens in Chicago, IL for $51,774 in 1979. I have all service records from 1990 to present. All work prior to my purchase was done only at Mercedes-Benz dealers. Recent work includes new suspension pump, new suspension main valve, new alternator, etc..All new NOT rebuilt. Everything working as it should except for a leak in central locking system and driver's door window regulator. At some point, very expensive Alpine and Boston Acoustics audio equipment was installed ($1,400)--and sounds wonderful (especially Wagner's Ride of the Valkeries at 140mph!). The car is equipped with electric sunroof, Michelin XWX tires, factory forged alloy rims, and all the usual MB amenities. All chrome and rubber is in good shape, as well as all the glass. Exhaust is sound--and sounds great! Brakes will probably require new rotors and pads next summer. Engine shows compression of 160psi on all 8 cylinders, and burns absolutely no oil. The transmission shifts great. Nice and crisp with no hesitation or slipping whatsoever. There is an ad for the car in the Oct 99' Hemmings. Asking $4,000. Car is located in Cleveland, Ohio. Call me at (330) 802-7921 or e-mail for more info.
