@Slammer thank you, I love this color as well!
@PdupontI just got back from TN for training. Unfortunately i didn’t have anyone to film a video and the weather in NJ right now is not the best at the moment. I do have the car covered so it doesn’t get wet. I did use the soft top once or twice to bring it down. Only issue I had were the windows where when the soft top is going down the windows would slowly go down. Not sure if that messes up the process of bringing the soft top down. So i didn’t want to mess with that at this very moment, especially with the weather currently. Just want to be honest and upfront about that. Sorry about the delayed response. Good luck on bidding!
@ZiadYes, hardtop is included. Interior wise, it is sagging.
@Kambo I’ll do my best to answer your questions. The background/history of this car was previously owned by a old man in his late 70s. He lost his wife recently due to health issues and said he didn’t need this car anymore as this was his weekend car for him and his wife. He’s owned this car since 2010 from a dealership. He was the second owner. He’s had it sitting in the garage for a 2-3 years after his wife passed. I bought it from him knowing it’s a great car, had maintenance done to it. Drove it for a few months. This car drives smoother than my W220 S500. I’ve had that for years. I want to keep this car so I could ride it with my future wife, but unfortunately with the crazy house market in NJ, I have to let her go. To answer your question long term wise, this car mechanically will last for eternity. Obviously depending on how much you drive it or how long it sits, maintenance is key.
@Johger45I’ll do my best to see if I can get someone within my family to open and close the roof in a video. I do apologize as I am currently away due to training for a new job.
