Thanks for your bid Hansjorg and your kind compliments on the car. It was great to meet you today!
Was great to meet a German Benz enthusiast today and see his excitement about this car. The color, condition, lack of corrosion, and extensive maintenance history all really Impressed him. It is a striking car in a color combo that just oozes class. Had another fun conversation just an hour ago with a bidder to answer some specific questions. Feel free to reach out if I can help you decide whether or not this solid, clean ride is right for you! My cell is 717-Five 81-Zero 711.
The car is essentially devoid of any corrosion because it has lived in a garage and was rarely driven in winter and never saw salted roads.
@IlovebigtoysThank you for your bid and inquiry! The AC system needed to be recharged (with R12) to assess further so they chose to not pursue further. The AC stopped blowing cold about 2 years ago. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
@Davidsbenz560Made some clarifications. The US spec 420 SEL did not have the hydraulic rear suspension apparently. See the link I found for more information. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwjGncPnxub_AhXVkIkEHS64CWsQFnoECDEQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2F126board.com%2Fthreads%2Fw126-sls-hydraulic-struts.14081%2F&usg=AOvVaw211sA1uC2H-emEr4Bg4hxC&opi=89978449
@Davidsbenz560Thank you for your inquiry. Sorry for the botched reply. Accidentally posted mid edit on my iPad. No repairs or replacement of the hydraulic rear suspension on record. I will confirm with my father in law. No engine or transmission leaks that can be seen. You may note transmission seal replacements around 120K noted in the service summary folder picture. I have more detail on actual receipts if you would like. There is no indication of any issue with any of the front or rear seat springs. Please let me know if any other questions or any way you could see the car first hand.
No historupy of ant No leaks that I am aware of. No leak
