@GoBoGoThanks for the comment. As I mentioned in another reply, when I got the car the badge was already missing. The previous owner (an older gentleman) told me he wasn’t sure what happened to it—he thought it may have been removed or possibly stolen at some point while the car was parked, but he couldn’t say for certain. From what I can tell and based on my inspection, there are no signs that the trunk has been repainted or worked on, but I don’t have any documentation to confirm anything related to the badge history.
Last hour of the auction on this beautiful 420SEL — it’s been a great experience so far. Thank you to everyone who has followed, commented, and shown interest. Wishing all bidders the best of luck in the final stretch. Happy bidding!
Thank you for catching that. That was a mistake made during the drafting process and does not apply to this vehicle. The car has been in British Columbia since new and has never been titled or registered outside of BC. It will be sold with its current British Columbia registration and documentation. I apologize for the confusion and appreciate you bringing it to my attention.
@loutra1967Thanks for the question. The 420SEL badge was already missing when I acquired the car. The previous owner mentioned it may have been removed or stolen many years ago, but he wasn't sure exactly when. I don't have any further history regarding the missing badge.
@ArmyGuy63Thanks for the question. Yes, I absolutely feel this car is road-trip ready. It has brand-new tires, a new battery, and a recent oil service. I drive the car regularly on weekends and have not experienced any issues. I would have no hesitation driving it a long distance. Regarding the paperwork, once the auction is completed and payment is received, I can provide the necessary ownership/title documents and work with you on the timing. I can also store the car safely in my garage until you're able to travel here and pick it up. Please feel tree to let me know if you have any other questions. Good luck with the bidding!
@PeaboThank you for the question. To my knowledge, the timing chain, guides, and ramps have not been replaced during my ownership. The car has only 65,000 original miles, runs very well, and I have not experienced any timing chain-related issues. However, I do not have records showing that this service was previously performed, so I cannot confirm whether it was done before my ownership.
