AC and heat work perfectly

It isn’t a consistent failure. Seems to work better in cold weather than hot.

I found a set of gaskets for the side view mirrors which are tough to come by. I’ll include those in the sale and here’s a video showing you how to do it. The current ones aren’t horrible, but these will be a nice improvement.

Good morning and thank you for the opening bids. I’m happy to answer whatever questions you may have about the car. It’s one of the nicest S320 you’ll find!

The m104 is as smooth as glass and bullet proof reliable.

Thanks for getting back to me on the hard top. I was also concerned with the top mechanism having been serviced. I see that’s all been addressed recently. Nothing worse than having it dump hydraulic fluid all over you when you’re all dressed up and headed out for dinner! Best of luck with the sale!

Looks like a nice piece. I can get past the TMU but where is the hardtop? That’s an expensive piece! 

1995 Mercedes-Benz SL500 w/40k Miles

Jvaldora said:

I don’t see any indication that the hydraulics that run the top have been serviced. They have a nasty habit of puking fluid from the top of the windshield usually when you’re dressed and out on the town. Any other service records that show this routine maintenance being done?

It’s not the sun that does that to the instrument cluster. It’s the heat and humidity. You can clean them with a little effort. It shouldn’t be a deal breaker considering the low miles on this unit.

I have been asked about service records and books. I’ve submitted photos of about $4100 in service history and the books that came with the car as well as the all important E-class owners bible. These items will be included with the sale. Documentation is everything when you own a classic Mercedes.

I’ve been asked to post pictures of the door jams. I’ve sent them along and they should be posted here shortly.

If Pierre Hedary has gone through this car, it’s well sorted!

Thank you for the question. The oil pan gasket was replaced because it was leaking. The oil pan was not replaced. I’ll ask the editors to correct that. The transmission pan and gasket were replaced. I wanted the transmission serviced and I saw what looked like a rust spot on the pan, so I had it replaced. As it turns out, the old one was fine. I’m just particular about having the job done right.

@dean_Laumbachthanks for your questions. The paint appears to be original. Before I bought it, I had it looked at and the inspector used a paint meter all over the car and concluded it was original. It’s not 100% perfect. There is a scratch or two on the trunk area that have been touched up. I’ve tried to accurately show them in the pictures. There is a very slight crease that didn’t damage the paint under the drivers side rear door. That actually looks worse in the picture than in person, but again I wanted to make sure I’m representing the car honestly. 

The major stuff that needed fixing wasn’t really horrible. I’m found a 30 year MB tech who would make me an exact replica of the wiring harness, minus the biodegradable insulation, of course. He recommended that I replace  the vacuum pump as a precaution. When the OEM pump lets loose, it dumps it’s bearings into the crankcase and grenades the motor, so I replaced it. Brakes, steering, suspension are working as designed. No squeals, squeaks, groans or pulling. 

The headliner was replaced by a previous owner and they did a nice job. They also put fabric on the bottom of the sunroof and it looks good there. However, it’s thick so,it binds when the roof opens or closes. The motor works fine. I don’t use the sunroof, so I don’t really care. The new owner can remove the fabric if they like. I don’t know if there is glue holding the fabric to the roof or not. Just in case, a new frame for the bottom of the sunroof in the trunk that the new owner can install. The oil is fresh, the transmission has been serviced, there were fuel leaks that have been repaired even the cabin filters are new. 

I just had the AC serviced and it blows out of the dash vents like it’s supposed to. Heat works fine, too. The only thing acting up is the oil pressure gauge. It’s fine at start up, showing max oil pressure. After the car warms up, the needle sometimes gets jumpy. The car runs great but you won’t be winning any drag races. Still, the OM606 is torquey and responsive. 

Sure, if you want to see the car in person, I’m happy to accommodate you. You’re going to love it!
