Just bought a new pimp sled. :D

I told myself I wasn't going to buy another one, but I found this deal that I absolutely could NOT pass up!

It's an 87 560SEL...145k miles, and in excellent condition. It's a one owner car, and the guy who bought it new was 85 years old. O_O. Everything works, including the AC. The only problem is the rear SLS...I think it needs a rebuilt valve and accumulators. All this for $1850!

The guy described at as a marker...so you can tell where the car ends lol. The little clear plastic star lights up when you turn the lights on, it's pretty cool.

I guess when your 85 years old you need every type of aid you can get.

LOL! Yea, I think you're right!!

As for the rear damage...yea, I'm pretty sure it was hit in the rear at some point, even though the carfax is clean. Whoever did the repairs did a great job, tho...well, aside from the badge placement error lol.
