Car scans completely error free in Star/HHT
Smoke silver/mushroom mbtex
Interior in great condition, a little wear on drivers door sill carpet and one spot on back seat, no weird stains, non smoker
Car was hit on right side in 2017 but it's been professionally repaired with 2 LKQ doors, they also replaced the hood due to a body shop mishap
and probably more things but I can't think of them right now
EDIT 5/18/19: thought of more things I replaced:
- New coolant and washer fluid sensors 2013
- New MAF sensor 2013
- New brake hoses 2018 and brake fluid flushed every 2 years
- New engine mounts 2018
- regularly serviced on time with Mobil1 ESP (229.51 or 229.52) oil and filters,
- Oil/filter last changed middle of last summer. It has about 6k left on mile counter, but it will run out of days in a couple months (this has the first generation ASYST system)
- Air filter replaced 2018
- fuel filter replaced 2018
- front brake pads and rotors 2013, front pads still decent
- back brake pads 2018
No rust that I can find, it's been in MD and SC its whole life
When I got the car it was equipped with H&R lowering springs, I have removed these and put the stock springs back in. Will include the H&R springs with the car (in a box). Also I sold the SLK rims as seen in the original sale post, they were different size front to back which would not allow the cruise to work. Back to stock rims and recommended tire size, cruise works perfectly.
Asking $3500
add $700 if you want the OM606 glow plug tooling kit (I have all OM642 engined cars now)
(German made Mueller drill out kit, Baum reamer, Time-sert kit with 4 bungs)
