One of the issues these cars had was the sunroof air disruption auditory discomfort at certain speeds. This example seems to have a tasteful aftermarket remedy installed. My SLC has the same engine and I can tell you that if this example has had the good fortune of having spent its life under the care of owners who maintained it as it appears to have had based on the description, the next owner will enjoy decades of reliable power as these engines truly are the equivalent gasser to the venerable OM616 diesel. While it is hard to beat the bamboo interior found on the W116, this red interior is pretty cool. Question: Was the shift on the column an option at some point for cars destined for the USA? I've only seen a few examples (online, never in person) on the W116. Interesting. Good luck with the auction. Someone is going to be very happy with a wonderful S-class next week.December 3rd, 2021 at 2:37pm EST$14,000 bid placed by @Aubrooks333December 3rd, 2021 at 12:30pm EST$10,500 bid placed by @SpintronDecember 3rd, 2021 at 11:54am EST$10,250 bid placed by @Aubrooks333December 3rd, 2021 at 11:50am EST$10,000 bid placed by @ParfourDecember 1st, 2021 at 9:59pm EST$8,750 bid placed by @SpintronDecember 1st, 2021 at 2:42pm EST$8,500 bid placed by @YesmanDecember 1st, 2021 at 6:12am EST$8,250 bid placed by @SpintronDecember 1st, 2021 at 12:44am EST$8,000 bid placed by @YesmanNovember 30th, 2021 at 8:48pm EST$7,750 bid placed by @SpintronNovember 30th, 2021 at 7:53pm EST$7,500 bid placed by @YesmanNovember 30th, 2021 at 5:07pm EST$5,250 bid placed by @SpintronNovember 30th, 2021 at 1:01am ESTFletch (3) Seller 2@Tank24 @billapex Thank you both for the kind words!
