Description of 1985 Mercedes-Benz 500-Series

Need to sell my 1985 Mercedes 500SEL. I bought this car here oneBayin May for $255. It had been sitting for years and donated to charity.In the last 6 weeks I have spent $1800 on it and my wife is pissed.
Work I have done:I had it towed home $350 replaced the battery $170 and ignition cylinder $52, emoved the fuel tank and cleaned it out replaced the fuel pump fuel filter and fuel lines ran fuel injector cleaner through the fuel distributor $170, hanged the motor oil and filter $25 and started the engine, dle was rough but ran smooth and no smoke. On the first test drive the front tire blew out I replaced it with a new tire $79 and the other front tire with a good used tire $39. I replaced the broken vacuum lines and check valves $20 tosmoothout the idle and smog tested the car $40. It passed. I paid the registration and fees and got new plates $151. The gauges were not working so I purchased used cluster from pick a part it also did not work $37. I got new gears for the odometer and installed them soldered the broken circuit card and replaced acapacitor and soldered wire across brokenrheostatfor dimmer took the best parts of the two clusters and reinstalled them $50, he tachometer sticks not working at all, lock isintermittent and oil pressure reads max bad sender speedometer sticks when you go over 70mph. Ireplaced all the tail light bulbs and one headlight $30. The a/c was not working so i converted it to 134a vacuum tested and filled with new 134a and oil now it blows cold $50. Then when I started the car with a/c on the belt squeaked the alternator bearings were bad replaced the alternator $140. replaced the wiper blades $36. Started sanding down the pealing clear coat to prep car for new paint $50. and now I am out of money.
