Sad. We weren't even close to the reserve on this one.
Last hour here, folks. Be sure to get your bids in. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own one of the prettiest W108s you'll find. And certainly one of the most extensively serviced.
@Robertlnm Thank you! Indeed it is beautiful. We are a dealer.
Haha, was wondering when that bid would come in. Let me know if you folks have any questions. This is a very special car.
Thanks for the compliments, guys! She truly is a dream. This is an extremely well sorted W108, as well, with the tremendous amount of service and maintenance done to it this year alone. Whomever ends up with her will extremely happy.
@Kcjohn8325 Let me reach out to MB Market and ask them if they can connect us.
@elpasoben Hello! Cool to see a fellow El Pasoan on here! Of course you can see her in person! I’m currently out of town, but will be back before the weekend. Use the Message Seller button in this listing to reach out privately and we’ll exchange contact info and set something up for before the end of the auction. Thanks!
@BrianMotoring Thanks for the question! I’m only going off of the information in that particular service record that occurred before we took inventory of the car, so I can’t say for sure, but I would say that service record probably just says serpentine belt as a general description (maybe limited by the mechanics software?). Because if you read beyond that, it does state that they replaced 3 “drive belts”.
@Kcjohn8325 Yes.
@Lamez2054 Sent you an e-mail!
Really soft market. Unless we can make a deal with the highest bidder, we’ll just hang onto this until Spring time or sell locally. Thanks for bidding, everyone.
Don’t let this slip away. There won’t be low mileage, clean history examples around forever…
Last half hour here, guys. This one is as clean as they get. Don’t miss out on this absolute gem!
We are an inch away from the reserve price, guys. Don't miss out on this...
Here we are in the final hour, folks. Again, this is a super rare vehicle here in the states, as well as extremely practical and fun! Don’t miss your chance to own this awesome van. You won’t find another one.
What a gorgeous interior!!
Hey guys! Wanted to chime in here to share some thoughts on this ML500. This is a super clean example of the V8 powered W164. It's also presented in the fairly rare AMG Sport Package, which is really cool. Super low mileage for the platform and age. You regularly see these ran through with 250k+ miles, but not this one. Quite frankly, you're going to be hard-pressed to find a cleaner, more desirable ML500 with this low of mileage. The truck runs fantastic, just as you would imagine. It feels and even smells new. Like the ad states, these things will run forever, especially when well cared for like this one has been. Bid with confidence, guys, because examples as clean as this one don't pop up too often. And I know whomever takes this home is going to absolutely love it.
Hey guys! Just wanted to chime in here on this auction for this super cool V230. As I've stated in my video, the van is in excellent condition mechanically speaking. It drives great! I've also got the interior more well sorted than when I bought it. Also, and most importantly, I got the AC working and it cools very nicely now. I made many drives in this thing in the dead of summer here in El Paso, so I can certainly vouch for it, haha. Whomever ends up with this next is really going to enjoy it. I certainly have. It's such an interesting vehicle, and it's been a great experience to learn a facet of Mercedes-Benz that we never got to see here in the USA. If you're a true Mercedes-Benz enthusiast, you'll understand the value and intrigue of this van, just as I have. :)
@Jrad1600 Agreed, but it happens. Oh well. This is probably a better platform for this vehicle anyway. I think it'll receive more of the proper attention here than it did on BaT. And yes, indeed, it is extremely rare in the USA! You will NOT come across another one of these in the wild. Only way you'd come across another is if you intended on meeting up with that other owner!
@Jrad1600 It is sweet! Thank you! Yes, the buyer did in fact back out. Went silent for a few days after our first discussion after him winning, and then finally got back to me saying it was an impulse buy and it didn't meet his needs after all and he wasn't going to follow through. It was not due to any fault with the vehicle. The van is great. :)
Oh man, this thing is awesome!😍
Let me know. Did MB Market send you my contact information?
Ah, didn't meet reserve? I didn't even notice! Bummer...
Lol, same here.
Can you hear/feel the AC compressor kick on, but it's just not blowing cold?
Also: 1. What is that flapping in the wind near the windshield wipers in the driving videos? It's hard to make out. 2. Can you post a picture of the VIN please? I don't see one in the ad. Thanks!
Any fluid leaks anywhere? Oil, brake fluid, antifreeze, etc.? Air conditioner blows cold?
Any idea what happened to the trim on the drivers side part of the windshield?
Can you provide a Car VX report since this is a JDM vehicle? The Carfax provides no information on the vehicle prior to its import to the USA.
Looks like either the vehicle pulls to the left or the steering wheel is incorrectly positioned to the right. Any chance a wheel alignment can be done at Sellers expense prior to delivery?
