Thanks August 23rd, 2024 at 10:28am ESTMSerpe (33) 0thanks some great insights are here on the system Typically the spheres last about 8-10 yrs although rarely 12 years. You can do a test of the Nitrogen charging, leak down, and recharging see more here https://mercedessource.com/problems/suspension/69-hydraulic-suspension-diagnosis-and-repairAugust 23rd, 2024 at 9:47am ESTAutowerks (6) Seller 0@MSerpe Hi thank you! The hydraulic suspension operates correctly and are no vacuum leaks that I am aware of. I’m not sure how to run a test but if you let me know, I would be happy to shoot a video. When it arrived and was taken off the flat bed. The leveling light on the dash illuminated and you could see the car rise up after it was started. When it reached the correct height the light went off. There is a service receipt in the gallery which shows the pump being replaced in 2020 For the 4 weeks I’ve had the car in the garage the suspension has not deflated and have been no leaks on the floor. Thanks! August 23rd, 2024 at 9:17am ESTMSerpe (33) 0Hello lovely car, thanks for posting it couple questions does it pass the self leveling test? perhaps a video of that is possible? when was the last time the hydraulic spheres were changed? any vacuum leaks? would help to post the service records, only one is shown from 5 yrs ago with some minor stuffAugust 22nd, 2024 at 2:55pm ESTthembmarket (691) 0Additional photos of the underside have been uploaded to the gallery. August 22nd, 2024 at 2:43pm ESTAutowerks (6) Seller 0Good afternoon! I just uploaded undercarriage photos. They should be live shortly. Thanks!

August 17th, 2024 at 9:36am ESTAutowerks (6) Seller 0@570TE Yes, the car was originally purchased at Leo Payne Imports in Lakewood Colorado 4-29-78 The car remained in Colorado with the owners family until it was purchased from the daughter by the current owner. Unfortunately the service records from the original owner were misplaced over the years. Thanks! August 17th, 2024 at 3:30am EST570TE (8) 0So the current owner bought the car in 2007. Do we have any maintenance records or know anything about the ownership prior to that time? Even where the car was located?August 16th, 2024 at 6:01pm EST$10,000 bid placed by @SiloAugust 16th, 2024 at 5:18pm ESTAutowerks (6) Seller 0@PhantomU The owner prefers black cars. He’s not a big fan of red, and decided to have it professionally re-painted black. Thanks! August 16th, 2024 at 5:13pm ESTPhantomU (1) 0Hello, why was it repainted? Red exterior with tan interior would be more rare and striking. IMHOAugust 15th, 2024 at 9:11pm ESTMBFahrer (34) 0"individually adjustable rear view mirrors" .... what? As opposed to synchronised rear view mirrors?

Lake Barrington Motorsports does the service on all the owners vehicles, I asked them to print the service records just prior to the auction. Yes, the mileage is correct and will state actual on the title. Thanks! August 15th, 2024 at 4:45pm ESTferrari1971 (0) 0My dad still has his that he bought new in 1979. Silver with Blue.
