My neighbor had this car on CL for $5000 (smoking crack). Anyway it's a 3 owner and his deceased aunt was the second owner. Been in their family since 1999. Car is green with dirt interior. Yes. Dirt because it has never been cleaned once. BUT amazingly well maintained all records and sexy carfax. $2000 spent on various tune up parts from MB Plugs and wires o2 sensor mass air flow sensor etc. this car runs and drives smoother than any of the 10 or so benzs I have sat my butt in. But the car does have a few issues.

Blower does not blow except on lowest setting
Check engine oil level indicator comes on upon start up. It's full and fresh oil.
Washer fluid level low comes next. It's full too
Door locks inop
Some clearcoat failure. Oh well

Car hauls butt and shifts are imperceptible. I picked the car for $1800 once I showed him KBB and how filthy interior is. He didn't argue. It's a 3rd car now and it was insurance renewal time. So he was ready to sell. It had been on CL for 22 days and I was first nibble.

I love how this car handles and drives. So amazing. That v8 is like a sewing machine and no oil leaks anywhere.

Any tips or hints in the w210 v8. Never owned one before but look forward to making a daily out of it. Thx
