nice but the engine compartment doesn't match the condition of the rest of the car.

Wow, that's a beautiful car....and once again I find myself saying "now I know what my car is supposed to look like" just as I did when I looked at 'engatworks' car.

I think the shot of the engine compartment is worthless. Not enough angles and clearly shows that they have cleaned it and sprayed it with shiny wax.

They need about 5 more shots of the engine bay with really good lighting to make that shot worth anything.

Thanks for sharing the link....I must have missed it.

51,000 miles in 20 years? Something must be wrong with it. It's either been driven on very short trips only (bad) or it's been sitting for months and perhaps years without being driven at all (very bad).

84 300sd on ebay.

Mine has 86,000 on it when found under a huge pile of wood in this ladys car port. Engine bay looks about the same. I've only put 20K of those 86,000 miles. Unfortunatly Ohio wet and very humid weather has given my Sd a bad case of the rust at every door handle and just above the plastic line. My car is the same color. Look closely at the little metal panel below the headlights on the picture that looks like the car is driving towards the camera. It's pushed in. I'd say small fender bender maybe in the 7mph. My 2 Cents. Must add that the car I found or I should say found me was buried for 8 1/2 years.

Wink Looks nice, but......

Seats are not leather, but MB-Tex; however the wear on them looks like it has low mileage. I agree about the incipient rust; and I'm always suspicious of a car driven an average od 2500 miles per year.
