2014- Present 2016
Recent brake work completed. Factory AMG chrome wheels.
New tires with less than 100 miles – warranty included. Sound system upgrade – includes Orion amp and Polk system, new wiring.
Recent oil and fuel filter changes and diesel fuel flush. New wipers.

Honorable Mention
The instrument cluster requires repair or replacement. I am working on that.
Look at the pictures – you can see the pictures that reflect small flaws.
Note that there is a AMG sticker on the front seats. They have a small seam at the same spot on each seat that need stitching if you remove the stickers. All of the seats are in really nice condition.
This is a vehicle that should last a lifetime and it is reliable and economical like you can’t even believe. You will not be disappointed, a lot of ride for the money. I travel as a Chief Marine Engineer and use the vehicle briefly when I’m around. It runs like a top and starts up every time no matter how long I am away. She needs to be driven and driven hard!
