Vehicle description
Good day
I purchased the vehicle over a year ago as I wanted a 450SEL for the past 10 years after I sold my extremely well kept and absolutely perfect 450SEL during the housing bubble of 2008-2009. I had to sell it and since then I wanted to replace it before their prices reached unaffordable levels too just like the W107. Because since then prices have gone up significantly on this particular model and I had to pay three times more then what I got for mine in 2009, I decided to find a vehicle that would need some care so that I could buy it for a lower price and so I landed on this vehicle. Basically I was looking for a project car but I was able to find one in above project condition and the best part was that It was a local car.
Well, after I made this purchase, Covid happened and of course it changed my plans and priorities, just like it did for many others, so now Ill have to sell the vehicle. I knew many people would ask how long Ive owned it and why am I selling, so I decided to answer these two first. I currently need the funds for something else so I am selling the vehicle.
This car does not have its original paint and please dont believe any car this age does and If it does, please be ready to pay over $25000 for it. In fact the vehicle was lighter metallic green and someone prior me decided to paint it in dark British Racing Green color which happens to be my favorite color as I am a big Jag fan. It looks phenomenal. It is not an A class paint job. It looks like it was done in the past 5 years but its not a concourse d"elegance paint job. Its a regular paint job. The color is so eye catghing. It truly looks fabulous on this car.
The body is pretty stright. It has very minimal door dings and imperfections. In fact you will barely find any door dings. Unless you are restoring the vehicle in full, I would leave the paint alone. I would concentrate on the seals instead as the front windshields seal is pretty bad and would need replacement. Since you may have to do that, I suggest buying the whole set from URO for $299 and replacing all the seals as the trunk seals poor condition already caused water leak in to the trunk which caused some corrosion. Photos of that are coming up. Doors close so well but the seals would need replacement.
The Interior is absolutely clean and I can assure you you will not be able to find a car with cleaner interior, thats at least in this price range. All door panels, headliner and everything inside the car looks very clean. Photos are worth a thousand words. This interior can be compared to any 10 year old cars interior.
The car sits most of the time inside my garage but every time I start it starts right up without any issues. It drives well with lots of power. I would not take a trip in it as it needs some attention but I drive around town. I think I would replace the brake pads and rotors soon. They dont make any sound and dont need replacement but because I dont know when they were replaced, I would. It also needs an AC relay. The Becker works. Some of the windows work, some semi work.
This really is above project car condition. If you want to make it a very nice car, you would give it some mechanical attention and fix the rust area which is only by the trunk as all older Benz start having if the seals are not replaced on time. This vehicle does not come from a state to worry about rust. This is not a rust car. The only reason it has that rust is only and only under the trunk because water went inside due to bad trunk seal. There is absolutely no rust anywhere on this car as its a dry weather state car but again, the previous guy had it parked outside for w while and never paid attention to the fact that rain water was gathering in his trunk.
Its a pretty easy fix. If I was to take an interior replacement or a rust fix in the trunk, I much rather fix the rust in the trunk. The vehicle turns heads every time I drive it and gets more complements then my W108 which surprises me. It is priced very reasonably and I am open to reasonable offers.
Wire transfer is the only payment option. Title is present. The car is in Las Vegas and can be picked up after its paid for. Full payment is due within 7 days and a $500 absolutely non refundable deposit is due at the time of purchase. If you do not have 25 or more feedbacks, please contact me prior making this purchase. Thank you
