Reserve has been lifted. This car is selling!
The cost of the new parts I’ve added in the last 15 months is about double the current bid. I hope that gives you all some courage.!
Good luck to all bidders. I’m looking forward to sending this cool Kompressor to a new caretaker!
The battery has been disconnected in the past as we’ve worked on the car. Might be that simple. 👍🤠. However if the winner of this auction likes I can still take the car to my local Mercedes Dealer when I can get an appointment to diagnose the SRS light. I’m open to final negotiation depending on what that shows. I’m committed to giving the next owner a happy purchase.
Thank you for the bids! I’ve enjoyed rebuilding and driving this interesting, sporty, and economical sedan! It’s only for sale because I have accumulated a crazy number of street cars The restorer gene needs curbing! 🙄🤣
@Rockster80 Yes, we checked everything and it was fine so we just fitted a new clutch disc. The gear change is sweet and the box is silent.
@British1 No paint ever as I understand it. There’s no discoloration in normal light anywhere. The maintenance records and the car fax confirm no damage ever, so no paint. This is a virgin body.
@Helmsmotorsports I agree that the colors are stunning. I’ve been told by experts that red with oatmeal / tan was fairly common, but red with BLACK is pretty rare. 😎
@Croosin_Wrld As far as I am aware the air conditioning is factory fitted. Doubt it could be aftermarket!
@Horsepwr4me I just went out to the car and checked the heated seats work just fine, and the a/c blows cold almost right away through the center vents. This car is in such good “almost as new” shape it’s hard to believe it’s been driven 23,000 miles!
