Hey guys I’m looking at selling my Mercedes, I really don’t want to sell it but I thought it would put it out there to see if anyone is interested. It gets so many looks and so so much positive attention but I’ve hit some serious business issues and I’m considering a change of career and may need a few dollars to back me up.
I purchased the car from its original owner about a year ago, it had been sitting in their shed on stands since 1995, I turned the key and it started no worries! The only reason they sold it was because they were moving to a retirement home and couldn’t take it with them, as I drove off with the car the lady cried and I have since remained in contact with her.
Body:
Exterior is fantastic for age, a couple minor spots of rust but nothing major, paint is very easy to blend so could look mint for under $500-600. The paint is original and is still in amazing condition, fantastic quality paint is used on the old Mercedes. The top of one guard was scratched from factory, this got repainted by the dealer but has developed minor crow’s feet now. There is a couple of minor dents here and there but the whole car is very straight. Chrome is fantastic as well are the colour coded hubcaps.
Interior:
Looks stunning for its age, all seats and trims are A1 condition, no rips, no tears and no stains or marks. Beautiful cream vinyl. The dash is fantastic apart from the pad which houses a couple of cracks but it covered by a dash pad. Carpet is quite good and I have fitted an early steering wheel which suits it perfect, the original comes with the car. The car has the headrests removed in one photo but they are included and are A1 condition. Has air conditioning and works well, just needs a re-gas.
Mechanics:
The 2.4L runs well, really don’t miss a beat. Although it’s in dire need of a tune, it hasn’t been tuned since 1994! I just never got around to it and I drove it only on special occasions. Auto feels tight and doesn’t slip. Suspension feels like a cloud, fantastic ride quality.
Overall an amazing car! Could be used as a daily as it’s great on fuel, a weekend cruiser as it looks damn cool or the coolest thing on the streets if it got air bagged.
Looking at $5000ono you won’t find a better example getting around. It’s truly a joy to drive.

Can I ask the obvious question?
If its what i would ask? Then no. Haha
Damn. Haha.
Good luck with the sale, car looks immac.
I saw this car down at the DOTVW at port adelaide, I assumed it belonged to you, you have an awfully good knack for finding low KM's nice rides,
Ive got a W114 280, these are such nice cars, all this needs is a slight healthy drop and you'd be set, and this is WAY underpriced for something in such good condition (cream MB-Tex on a bright exterior colour is SUPER rare) GL w/ sale

Its such a beautiful car, I was very lucky to find it. You can get crap ones for much less but i think what I'm asking is fair.
As far as the drop goes i was collecting things to air bag the car. Potential buyer can negotiate the air bag items if thats what there after, i have bags, valves, etc.
"ohh, you!"
^^^^^^^^^ Exactly! Hahaha.
Ok Guys I've got a new job so I'm in need of a new daily driver, Im selling off a couple of VW's and this benz. I still don't want to sell it but I've just got too many cars.
Dropped to $3500! No rego currently but will be sold with fresh 3 months.
