History:
Purchased by my friends mother in law new from dealership in 1984. Always stored in climate controlled garaged since new. Despite being a Wisconsin car, it has never seen snow or salt. Only driven in dry clear weather. Was inherited by my friend in 2010 and was driven very little since then.
Maintenance:
All maintenance on this car is up to date. Fluids were changed in 2010. The car went through a full inspection one week ago and everyone in the specialty european car shop was impressed with it's condition. All fluids are in great condition. It doesn't need anything. The belts and all wear and tear items were inspected and tightened as needed.
The tires are 13 years old. The car was taken to a tire shop two weeks ago and they checked the tires. The tires don't have any cracking and look brand new (as the car has only been driven a few thousand miles in the last decade). The tires have developed a flat spot due to the car sitting in stationary position for long duration of time. Due to this flat spot, there is slight vibration when the car is driven over 70 mph.
Features and Options:
This car has every single option that was available in 1984 (that I know of). Some of the noteworthy features include:
Sun roof: a fully functioning and perfectly aligned sunroof.
Rear electric reclining seat: The rear seat is a comfortable recliner that is controlled electronically via controls on the rear doors.
Front heated seats: two level front heated seats
Rear heated seats: two level rear heated seats. Each rear passenger door has heated seat controls for their side.
Power windows: all power windows
Cruise control
Fog lights
Power antenna: power antenna extends and retracts with power controls on the dash.
Automatic climate control
Automatic door locks
Original and reserve keys
The stereo has been tastefully upgraded. The stereo colors match with the Mercedes interior console lights. The new stereo provides modern amenities.
The original radio has been carefully preserved and will be provided with the car.
Interior:
The interior is in perfect shape. It looks as if the car just came off the showroom and no one has ever sat in it. The upholstery is original leather and it doesn't have any marks/cracks on it. The carpeting looks brand new and it is completely spotless. There are custom 500 SEL floor mats in the car.
The car was never smoked in. All the cigarette lighters are clean and have never been used.
The interior wood is scratchless and looks new. The steering wheel feels great and new.
The first aid box behind the rear seat has the original first aid box that has never been used.
Exterior:
The exterior looks great and we get compliments everywhere we go. Everywhere from the ice cream shop to the gas station, people walk over to the car and have a conversation with us about how nice it is. It is a real attention getter. The color shines as if it was just built. The car was stored indoors in a heated garage so it doesn't have any UV damage from the sun.
The headlines are clear and look as new. The chrome on bumpers is perfect. All wheels are perfect and have no scratches on them.
Imperfections:
There are about five very small door dings on the rear passenger side door. You can only see them if you are about 3 feet away from the car. The rear bumper passenger side corner has a small scratch barely noticed and the rear passenger side door has a small ding/depression. There is no scratch on the paint. The only rust found on the body is a very small spot on the drive side front fender. These things are barely noticed and you probably won't even notice them if I wouldn't have told you. Take a look at the pictures. I tried my best to show them.
