196K miles and running well. Properly maintained. Excellent seats. V8 uses regular gas. Michelin tires with over 50% tread remaining. Averages around 20 mpg. A safe and comfortable ride; many years of good service left in this vehicle. Very well done paint job. Minor imperfections due to age; dash cracks, but not unsightly. Everything works except radio (believed to be a connection or fuse problem). This vehicle offers a great introduction to Mercedes for first time owner. Recent maintenance includes: new control module, cruise control rebuilt, new rear brakes and drums, rebuilt Bosch starter, new oil pressure sending unit &new oil temp switch, new battery (7/2014), repair rusty areas around back window & new seal installed, replaced high pressure fuel hose, new ignition coil & spark plugs (11/15), fuel filter, new control arms installed, seal power steering box, recharge AC (6/16), and regular oil changes always using fully synthetic oil. Of all the Mercedes I have owned, this one draws the most complements:classic understated Mercedes elegance.
