Cool curt didn't realize you had a thread up. Well guys I'm the buyer. I've got a thread up I just posted. There are some electrical gremlins. The rust topic.....maybe a radiator....some little bits.. Drives nice idles, interior is tired but there. Its my backup ride. I also have a 85 300d w123 heavily modified. This car is to just keep alive if the other cars break. :-) I'm alright with the 700 I think. New tires battery, it goes, stops, and drives straight.

Recent work i have done in last 30 days, OEM--> Steering box, ball joints, steering stabilizer shock, 4 high end touring tires, front end alignment, oil filter, fuel filters, air filter, front rotors/pads, back pads, compressor/dryer"

I've never had steering box, ball joints, tires, AC compressor fail at the same time on any car that I had MAINTAINED for a long time in pristine condition - especially on a MBZ. What else is he lying about?
That car looks very nice but his photos avoided the drivers seat back and did not show closeups of much. Value...pretty good but would need first hand inspection to finalize.

Not a good sign. How long have you been married? Wives need to let the toys flow.
