040 black is a very good looking color. GLWS. @Daddyschak Find me on the benzworld forum, I’ve got something to show you
@OldCarProblemsI never said secondaries aren’t needed for road legality. One actually can get smogged in Commiefornia without secondary cats. All of us in the auto enthusiast community out here know how, and I’ll gladly assist a CA buyer with this. Given the car has been in CA all its life and I live out here, the Magnaflows of course are CARB approved and I’m well aware of the requirement, but thank you nonetheless.
@OldCarProblemsThank you for pointing that out. So as long as two Magnaflow cats like the fronts are welded back into position, then the vehicle will be perfectly legal to drive on all US roads, but honestly Uncle Sam doesn’t care and will never care about something like this. Why the secondaries are gone? I had my exhaust shop do away with em. I like the mod as it makes the exhaust have a beautiful slightly deeper tone without increasing the volume. Primaries were already Magnaflow when I purchased.
finally someone bid. I was worried markets were down bad today or something
@GibsonMBThe color is also a point of constant compliments, everywhere I go too! Definitely agree about the xenons. Was a requirement of mine when I first was looking for an R129
The badge looks like it just needs a small raise and angle adjustment then it’s perfectly positioned. GLWS!
@2002SAaddressed this in a previous comment, buyer didn't pay and the sale fell through
Congrats to seller and winner. Hopefully my SL does well in the bidding department!
There's no point in last minute bids, you can't snipe since the timer resets to two minutes with each bid starting at the final 2 minutes
@retiredpasta Thanks! Did my best to always keep it good looking and as pristine as possible during my ownership
@NishbooThe trunk simply wasn't closed all the way. Photos in the gallery will show perfect alignment. Also thank you for your bid. Good luck!
@CryoBenzthat’s the solid build quality era of Mercedes for you! Maintain these cars and they will truly last forever
@super500yes sir ! The A/C works perfectly
@super500yes, unfortunately that sale fell through. I took that as a sign to bring it to this site where it should’ve gone in the first place
