Ebay offers our Feedback rating for a reason,... try trusting it. BRIEF DESCRIPTION: this is a totally rust free AZ survivor SL thats been a driver for most of its life. It did sit for a few yrs in the mid 2000s but about a yr ago was brought to a local German Car repair shop where it had about $2100 worth of work done to it to make it road worthy again. Parts and labor ie: Fuel Distributer / plugs / valve cover gaskets / R&R gas tank and flush / and misc hoses etc / / Invoice-receipt included. Ive been driving it around a few weeks now back and forth to work a few days a week. Runs and drives nice, but when its cold it has a slight hesitation which I believe isnt normal. Plenty of power and shifts fine. Its had 1 repaint that we know of, and its close to the original Red. Now very faded. The rims on it have been on it for many yrs, old school aftermarkets of course. READ MORE DETAILS BELOW
DONT BID UNLESS YOU HAVE THE FUNDS IN HAND, apparently some people who use ebay arent smart enough to understand the rules. So if you have under 10 feedbacks, Ill be emailing you if you bid to make sure you are legit, if we do please reply or we will cancel your bid. Up for Auction: LOW FAIR RESERVE !!! These cars are getting harder to find esp in this condition that are still affordable to most buyers.
DRIVETRAIN: the motor the original as far as we know V8 5.0 Euro Spec connected to a automatic trans. Starts up all the time and runs well. I wouldnt say its 100%, but decent enough to buzz around town and stuff. No weird noises or smoke, trans feels good too. Only thing I noticed as mentioned before is runs a little rough when cold, but a few min after warming up runs smoother. Some work has been done also as mentioned above, with the main pcs being the fuel distributer and fuel tank flush. Timing chain was checked and is fine and tight. One of the guides is worn, and prob should be done next. The chrome aftermarket rims are prob not everyones taste. SO, I have two options.
INTERIOR: seats done yrs ago to cloth, close to the factory color. Showing normal wear and tear, its not perfect, but okay for a driver. Could use some restoration as you may expect on a 30 yr old non restored car that was a driver for most of its life. Woodgrain is showing its age and cracked. The stereo in the car is pretty sound, and probably more then most buyers would even car about. The drive seat bottom may clean up for a better appearance. EXTERIOR: body is in pretty good shape overall from front to back. Front and rear bumpers have been bumped, they are the cool Euro bumpers. Easily fixable . All the glass is good. Has had at least 1 repaint about 15 yrs ago, close to the original color, but Az has put her touch to it and its very flat and faded on top, and down the sides some. Front main grill is missing a few pieces. All the gaps etc look very nice for a car this age. The chrome and stainless are in really nice shape, no pitting of course. Being an AZ car, you wont find any rot on this car anywhere, even surface rust is minimal. Ive lived in Az for over 25 yrs, we have the best cars for project and restorations in the country ! Tucson is a desert climate with little to no rain and less humidity. Im probably forgetting some stuff, so if you have any questions email me for a prompt reply !SUSPENSION:basically all stock, Im sure its had some repairs and work done to it over the yrs, but Ive driven it around some. Rides and drives well again for its age. Once in a while I hear a small knock or noise coming from the rear suspension. Could be a bushing etc, not sure. Its there just so you know, but its not horrible. Check out ALL the pics below ----->
it may take a full minute for them all to load ifyou have a slow connection, so be patient AND looks for the extra scroll bar on the right side. Az gets maybe 12" a yr of rain and Az very dry climate. more infoAFTER the pics etc. There are 100 large pics.
There you have it, probably The BEST represented Benz's on Ebay. Shows you all the good as well as any bad, hope you appreciate them. We put a lot of time and effort in marketing our cars and it shows. People wait months for a car this solid to come up for sale and even if you have to pay shipping to your area, it still beats paying a body shop to hopefully fix a rusty car for weeks on end. Having as much as the original steel on a restored car these days speaks volumes. People are flipping cars all the time when most of the jobs are fast, for a quick buck and quality suffers. No worries here, and we post legit large pics to prove it.
Email us with ANY questions before you bid please Our Impeccable FEEDBACK speaks for itself. We show you as much feasibly possible via pics. Dont let auctions withlittle to no pics try to fool you. If they cant take the time to take pics of areas under the car they are selling, maybe its not the best car to buy long distance. With other auctions, you really dont know what to expect until you take the car apart. While we go over our cars ALL OVER with great pics to help making your decision easier. Along with ANY other questions you may have. Email me for a quote for shipping. ARIZONA TITLE IN HAND Keep in mind, this is not a restored car !!
