Benzo purchased for $6700. Pics will follow when time allows.
1. Interior is truly 9.7/10. Mercedes Benz makes interiors and leathers that go the distance.
2. Exterior is 8/10. Fairly decent crack in right side passenger rocker panel, some freeway accident. 4" crack in original winshield, repaired so no spreading, I'd be fine if it did and just replace it.
2 dings that will need PDR. Some rubbing occurred on driver rear bumper corner. Car was waxed by a non pro who left the wax on the rubber parts......it just needs a weekend with a D/A polisher. Paint quality as a whole is very nice and she shines to the rest of the world who are not DFD members.
3. The mainteance records on this car are incredible and the engine compartment looks like it was detailed for sale because it is flawless....
4. This car drives as a well maintained Benzo should. Power/transmission are seamless, smooth, and quiet. This engine has enough power to get you out of trouble but not enough to get you in.
5. Hishway ride is incredible, far nicer than any of our current vehicles, but that's because we a own a truck, sports car, and sedan with a sporting suspension. This thing soaks up the miles with ease.
6. Stereo sounds nice, but this MB COMAND is dated big time.....12 years to be exact. Don't know if there is way to connect your phone to it for tunes Don't really care, ATM. When my kid is driving it she's putting her phone in the trunk or in the glove box anyway.
7. The gf likes the car, being a previous Benzo owner, and I think she is somewhat irritated that I have purchased such a nice vehicle for a teenager to share, but said teenager is going to learn to take care of the car or ride her bike, and besides, it's not my fault I hunted down a sweet piece of transport for $1700 more than I could have paid for a complete beaten up POS. I could drive this car to Maine today.....truly ready to run.
Pics to follow when I have time this weekend. Not as perfect as I wanted (never is) but I got a ridiculous amount of extremely well maintained vehicle for the money. 5/7 with the decision.
