Seeing your pics makes me wish I still had my '95 E300D; fun car to drive.

Good, I thought I might have been one of those SOB's, but I wouldn't send pm's for something like that. That is some jack-assery......
I will poke with a sharp stick in a thread though. It's my job.

Going through the above makes this new car that much sweeter!

Thumbs up more pictures and things. :)

so... talked w/ the P.O.
she really loves her Mercedes.

this car was basically her gift to her husband for their 50th wedding ann. along w/ the trip to europe to get it. it was in europe for 3200 miles before it came over.

I'm going to stop by her house tomorrow to pick up some more service records, a brand new bra && the custom fit W124 car cover

i'll try to snap a pic of her 250SE 3.5 cab while i'm there


i'm really shocked as to how this car has turned out

block heater has NEVER been used,
Airbag service done in 2005
GP's were replaced @ about 95K
motor mounts & engine shocks were done right @ 100K
bilstein shocks done @ 103

no wire work has been done... altho i don't see any stress cracking @ all... hmmm..

this woman kept everything, including fuel recipts!

its simply shocking.
as soon as i get back to ohio i'm going to start scanning every single document && keeping it for insurance purposes down the line... according to KBB i paid about 4000 more than exelent condit. retail value.

but i think she's worth every penny

Cut open the wrap on the wire harness in some hot areas to check.
