Thanks to all for being here. Its bittersweet letting her go.
 I might be tempted to list my 98 e430 Sport based on today. 
 Cheers to all.

Hey friends, its beginning to look like the high bidder is taking the car home. 
Good luck !

I thought of getting it smogged to confirm for a California buyer, but im confident it will be fine. 
Furthermore, i didnt want to give the state any more of my hard earned money just because they charge double for testing pre 2000 cars...

@Slb0151, cant imagine any sort of issue. Tires have 95% tread on them, and with the ASR, you should in fine shape. 
 Maybe, some alcohol in the washer fluid for Michigan temps...

...drove it to work this morning and gave it few WOT bursts. 
Really going to miss this car. 

Yes, everything works and zero leaks.
 One if the cleanest engine bay and undercarriage -140k diesels you'll see. 

@Kuyaned, no, the accident was unfortunate timing. Haven't had an accident or citation in over 30yrs.  
 With that said, my use of the car has become limited with moving Utah to San Diego.
 This car needs to be driven.  Thats what diesels are made for.
 In my humble opinion, the car could make a 10k mile trip without turning off the engine. 

@Sperillo, yes, there is a crease there. Its approx 3-5mm in depth.
 I'll have closer photo loaded asap.

@Sperillo, its possible.  It has typical minor dings and pitting that you would expect with 24yrs. Far from perfect from a cosmetic perspective, but I'll stand the mechanicsl aspects 100%.
I have an early morning tomorrow,  so it might not be until the evening for a  close up of what what your looking at. 
 Cheers.

@Sperillo, oil pan staining was confirmed as dirt.
 Took a few shots of before and after. 
Should upload by tomorrow.
 Cheers

@Sperillo, not entirely sure on the discoloration.
  My guess its from dirt that accumulated in the pan. Its been raining a lot here and the pan may have held some dirty water. 
 Which answers your second question.
 Yes, it has the belly pan. I pulled it off for pictures.
 Ill pull the pan off tomorrow and confirm with a new photo if needed.

I bought shocks and flex discs last year in anticipation of replacement.
 After inspection of both, they are still in exellent condition. Same with the shocks. Its possible they were replaced at some point. 
The reason there is only one disc is because I used one on my 98 E430

And to your point @Sperillo, these pumps are indeed indestructible...that is until you service them yourself and mess with the delivery valves. If you remove any of them either on purpose or by accident....you're destined to removing the whole pump and having it recalibrated.
 Also, there is little to no rust anywhere.
 In particular, the wheel wells, under the rubber door seals and the infamous spring perches.
Lastly, there was a mn erroneous bid placed yesterday for $8300 that will hopefully be removed soon.
Cheers 

Welcome to the auction of my well maintained E300.
Its been a gut wrenching decision to let it go.  I bought it with the intention of being my daily driver from St. George, Utah to Las Vegas. 
Family matters have me in San Diego and my use of the car has becone limited. Hopefully, it's apparent that I performed a fair amount of preventative maintenance. Much of it was not so much as mileage, but age related. As a pilot, you dont wait for things to fail. 
Obviously it had recent front end damage. It was a creeping 3-5mph, bumper encounter on a right turn from a stop. I was looking for oncoming traffic when the car in front made a sudden stop.
It cracked the right headlight plastic mounts, cracked the bumper and dinged the fender. 
The repair estimate was mindboggling. Other than the headight (which they quoted $850) and the bumper, they wanted to replace the fender, both fog lights, side markers and the wheel well lining. Nothing touched behind the headight and bumper. When I questioned the estimate, they decined to work on it. 
Its a sad commentary on the insurance biz.
   With that said, the car is mechanically dialed in with zero leaks and rust- which can be the Achilles heal on the w210s. Also, the dash cracks have driven me to insanity. Ive tried every product out there to repair them and frankly gave up. 
  As noted, the fuel injection pump was removed and completely serviced and calibrated at a Bosch service center. 
Franky, it was fine until I started to replace the delivery vave seals while I was still recovering from a serious bout with Covid. 
   Used a magnet, not a pick tool. I'll  leave it at that.
With most of the top end disassembled, it was an opportune time to replace numerous fuel lines, hoses, orings and gaskets. I had planned on injector nozzles, engine mounts and shocks, but ran out of time. Those items will come with the car as well as numerous other spare parts. 
I also had planned on a re-spray of the front bumper and lower hood  because of road pitting, but some time doing a proper paint correction with the single stage paint of the era would make it sparkle. 
In closing, I've always been a W126 and 124 diesel guy, and really miss my 91 350sd.  It took a while to get cozy with the radical change with the w210, but the power from the OM606 is remarkable and considered one of Mercedes milestone engines.
  28-30 around town and 30+ on the highway. You might squeeze out 35 keeping it at 65, but this car purrs at 75-80.
While maybe not in the collectable realm yet,  these are getting harder to find,  
  Thanks for the interest and I'll respond to questions as promptly as possible.
