Beautiful car, could you please share pics of the undercarriage. Did you replace the camshaft adjusters or rebuild them at some point? Do you have any hot start and cold start videos?
A few notes after flying to California and picking up the car. As I walked up to the car the seller immediately told me that he had a Detailer at his house the day before I got to California trying to repair the fairly extensive rock Chip damage on the front bumper. The Detailer got sick and left before doing anything but putting globs of touch up paint on the larger chips. The rock chips could have been pictured on the listing very easily and I showed the seller a pic I took in front of him of the chips and how it would have looked on the listing. I do believe the chips were the result of being a Highway driven car in Arizona. But if it was enough of a concern to get a Detailer the day before I got there to try and fix it then it should have been disclosed during the auction and disclosed before I got on an airplane to pick up the car. In addition the seller mentioned one front wheel having rash in the listing but I pointed out there was other wheels with damage. Aside from those issues the car was described well and it drove perfectly all the way back to Texas. The seller offered me $1,000 off due to the rock chips but I have a feeling if the car was represented exactly how he saw it then the listing may have not gone as high as it did. Impossible to know now what would have happened. It’s just always best to provide all the information available.
@TomFueleryThank you! I have wanted one of these for a very long time. Last of the true AMG NA E Class cars. Kind of like the 1980's AMG Hammer that I had a poster of when I was a kid. I am particular and looking forward to a clean example!
I am a serious buyer and appreciate further information on the car. We are taking your word on a few things. Pics and videos should be an easy and reasonable request to add to the auction. For example the car is currently titled in Montana but kept in California. So just because it is titled in a warm climate does not necessarily mean it stayed there. Flagstaff Arizona is at high elevation and snows. Flagstaff is a very short and beautiful drive from Phoenix yet they do salt roads when it snows. So just sharing pics of the underside and videos of cold starts would be greatly appreciated. Since you are flipping the car with no records and you don't know the exact 12 year history of the car a more complete presentation is very helpful as we consider bidding.
Some pics from the ground would be great! Thank you
Would you be able to provide some under carriage pictures?
Beautiful car, would you have time to post a cold start with the hood open and camera on the engine? If not, does the valve train sound as it should on cold start up?
