(READ: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE)
THE BAD:
-Exterior: paint is good, but needs spot correction, there are dings here and there, some bird etchings and rock chip repairs. Looks great unless you stare at it. I have factory paint and will include it with the car.You can also skip the hard work by replacing hood and trunk lid (approx 150$ for both) and just polish the car. Easy.-The pinstripe was partially removed, the rest needs to be removed as well if you care
Note:
I absolutely LOVE driving this car, it feels like having sex. I am unfortunately in need of money and am forced to sell it (long live IRS).
I put $5000 in maintenance over past months on top of the car price. I was doing maintenance for myself for next couple years.The car was and is my daily driver and is not perfect, you can find a $2500 W126 on craigslist - but beware - they often have never been tuned up and require LOTS of maintenance.I've done the heavy lifting for you.
Here, I am giving you a luxurious limousine ready to be driven. I am convinced it will offer exceptional ride and the legendary V8 reliability for the new owner. The value will appreciate.
You have a great taste. Make up your mind.
