I am putting my Mercedes Benz C280 Sedan on the trade block. It needs an alternator, but runs good with the battery charged. It has a V6 Engine, that is made by Mercedes Benz. It has rear wheel drive and about 180hp. It has rolled 238,203 miles.

The vehicle comes with a spare tire and an official Mercedes Benz sunguard.

There is a romantic story about the rust on the car. There is not a lot of rust on the frame of the car, just the outsides. The car has rust on its doors because the car was parked under a tree in the front yard and the husband would power wash the bird crap off and that worked the paint off little by little. You can sand it, square it off, and paint it, and you'd be set for a year or two.

I would like to get rid of this car. I have a clean and clear title. I want some engine changing tools, I need an engine stand, engine hoist, and an impact wrench... or auto parts shop (Autozone, etc) Credits, for this sweet ride.

I would also be interested in a Pontiac, any condition, with a solid frame. (note: That other car pictured, I am not a cop I just like the saucy V8. (It's for trade too!) )

I wouldn't mind getting rid of this car now. But if I keep holding onto it, I will replace the Alternator and that might increase the value a bit. So let me know if either way is best for you.

This car is named Trish because it is tough and sturdy.

Hope you sell it, but it would be a hoot-to-drive it in one of these Desert-States like Arizona or Nevada, or even Kalifornia with that rust....

It's in northeast Ohio.

My mistake, a C 280. That has almost 200hp.

This type of rust can be repaired. If you sand it, square it off with masking tape, and paint over the rust you got something.

I have seen rust on the frame of cars, that's worse. It gets so bad it is unsafe to put the car on jackstands.

The crown vic had some rust on the fenders above the wheels, but a little oil based black paint and it's not noticeable.

I found an alternator nearby, I will probably try to swap it out pretty soon.
