The level of conversation about the missing badges on a no reserve auction that's hovering under $2k is pretty funny. It's nice to see the AC system was serviced recently, does it function flawlessly? Did these have issues with failing stepper motors like some of the other models of this era? Are there any leaks whatsoever? Do all of the electronics function flawlessly (especially sunroof and rear sunshade)? About the wheels, the build sheet shows staggered AMG wheels, others have said these look to be sourced from a W211. Can you comment on how close of match these are in terms of the offset, width, staggering, etc? Could you also just throw out an estimate of what you would charge to get some proper wheels put back on? That's a lot of questions, so thanks in advance for your time! @SelectAutoNYC
Wow! It looks like you got a real steal of a deal here, @steelgator412 Congrats on the super cool car.
