Description

I purchased this car in October 2007. I have always kept it well-maintained, and have full service records for the time I have owned it. I have always changed the oil, adjusted the timing, and performed proper service on schedule.
August of 2015 I had the exterior completely redone at a highly reputable body shop in Grinnell, Iowa. New windshield at that time also. Won a Top Award in the 2015 Grinnell, Iowa car show.
In July of 2012, with 248,000 miles on the vehicle, I had a new short block engine installed. This means the engine in it now has only 41,000 miles on it.
The driver's seat was recently re-padded and re-upholstered. Now I will be honest: the rest of the seats are MB-Tex and the driver's seat is done with leather. Also, the goofball who did the re-upholstering broke the mechanism for the seat adjustment and the armrest.
So, that's a downside - but on the upside you are getting a car that had $15,000+ of exterior work done on it.
I would estimate that 95% of the time I drove this car, I was alone. Therefore the other seats are in excellent condition.
I am moving to Arizona and do not have space for the car there. I really hate to see it go, as anyone who knows me knows that this car has been my pride and joy.
It is an excellent investment - my Mercedes mechanic called it the best he has seen.
November 2016: I replaced all four brake rotors. The pads and brake lines looked good, so I left those in place. I bled the brake lines.
I have videos showing a cold start after sitting for two weeks, a video walk around, and more pictures available on request.
Shipping/delivery costs would depend on your location.
