Hehe. The miles are accurate and documented. I even have every service bill from Lakeview Mercedes Dealership. The car was owned by an older woman. It was graged it's whole life. The only real problem I have is the high idle issue (idle goes up and down) and I just have to replace the right rear wheel bearing. I also, purchased the outside temp. gauge in Farenheit. So, I'm gonna swap the Celcius temp. gauge for the Farenheit one. Besides that, I just need to replace little things.
lol. I paid for it in cash. I was lookin' through the paper one day and spotted the ad for the car. I jumped at the chance to go see it. The son of the owner was selling the car for his mother. She stopped driving so she told him to sell it. I purchased the car this past Feb. Since October 2005(when the car got it's oil changed) till Feb. the car was only driven about 32 miles. I was impressed. She had all the service papers and documents for the car. Really got lucky with finding sucha car.
Very nice car... I was wondering where you got the farenheit gauge. I would love to get one for my '84 300SD. I haven't really actively looked for one, but I don't recall ever seeing it. Maybe you could tell me where you got it and how much? Thanks!
1. I purchased the outside temp. gauge on eBay for $20 plus shipping. I know for sure there's one guy always selling the gauges. He usually sells them for $50+shipping. I think it also comes with the outside temp. sensor (metal piece).
2. When I got the car, the original radio (Becker 612) did not work. I searched on eBay and posted up a want ad on this site. No one had one in excellent condition. So, I recently went on eBay and purchased the Becker BE1480 for $90+shipping. I couldn't stand the silence in the car. I'm still holding on to the original radio though. When I sell the car the new owner can have it. Of course I want to keep the car original as possible. I'm a freak when it comes to that.
Beautiful !!! Is always a true joy to see first Gen W126's in this kind of condition.& the price YOU paid for it..."fergetaboutit".
Hope it lasts YOU a very LONG time..even on those crappy NY roads.
Never too late for a compliment. Thank you very much.
