June 12th, 2024 at 11:09pm ESTcosee16 (8) Seller 0Many thanks to all that placed bids & comments, and to TheMBmarket!! I'm sorry we couldn't make a deal and I commend you for being willing to buy the car unseen or driven, something I've never done, and I can understand your reluctance to go too deep in the pockets. I was as open and honest as possible with all I see and know about this car in trying to answer your questions. For all the MB 16V owners, and to those who may someday be, you'll never get tired of driving these cars be it on track or street, plus the never-ending thumbs up and positive comments from all who see it - young and old! Go Mercedes!!!!!June 12th, 2024 at 5:01pm ESTStuttgart_Steel (492) 0@quantumorbit Nice quick clean battle. Thanks for the adrenaline rush. I’m also with you considering the corrosion and needed paintwork. Cool car, really wanted it, but just see too many dollars bills that it needs immediately to make it what I want. Good luck to the seller. Great responses and honesty — more people should take note of your interactions. Hit me up if you wanted to sell it for what it ended on. Thank you!

Wish the seller good luck.June 12th, 2024 at 4:50pm ESTStuttgart_Steel (492) 1I always like duking it out.

Tire choice are limited in stock size but it looks like it’s a choice between Yokohama Advans or Khumo PS31s. Not a Michelin but definitely not bad choices either. The stock Gullideckels would have to say — they’re too iconic not to. Thanks for the interaction! June 10th, 2024 at 10:00pm ESTthembmarket (691) 0Additional videos and underside photos have been added to the listing. June 10th, 2024 at 9:00pm ESTcosee16 (8) Seller 1Stuttgart_steel It's possible??.... I have never checked the date codes. I only looked at the treads for tire wear and dry rot when I purchased the car and saw no red flags. Although the car rides nice and the tires passed NYS Inspection, a new set of tires would definitely enhance the ride. I am leaving the tire & rim size decision to be made by the new owner since the 15" stock rims offer very little in tire selection. There are only 3 companies I'm aware of that still make the stock 205/55 - 15"June 10th, 2024 at 7:32am ESTStuttgart_Steel (492) 0Kind of hard to tell from the pictures, but do the tire date codes say 2013? June 9th, 2024 at 10:33pm ESTcosee16 (8) Seller 0quantumorbit I'm selling the car because - pending that it sells.... I have the opportunity to buy a 1986 16V Track Car in pearl black that was built specifically for racing on track, and I don't have garage space to house both cars. Also, as I mentioned I already have a 16V for 35 year that's in outstanding condition. The car in auction was originally purchased in mind as an investment car down the road as the values are increasing, but when the opportunity to buy the track car was presented, I decided the track car would be more suitable for what I like to do. As you know, that's what the 16V was built for. I apologize, and wish I had the time to take more photos of the undercarriage for you and others, but my work schedule makes that impossible to do before the auction ends on Wednesday. Arrangements can be made for anyone who want's and is able to see the car in person. Thanks for your interest & questionsJune 9th, 2024 at 6:07pm ESTquantumorbit (11) 0Why are you selling after such a short ownership? I'm also interested in photos of undercarriage. No need for a lift, just put cell on the floor with a timer on wide angle lens. Can also remove carpets and take photos of footwells which are prone to rust. Would also appreciate closeup photos of corners of sunroof and both windshields. ThanksJune 9th, 2024 at 1:31pm ESTcosee16 (8) Seller 0Stutgart_steel Its my pleasure! Amazingly, there are no cracks at all - or even beginnings of cracks on the dashboard. The dashboards on these cars are notorious for a single vertical crack usually dead center of the dash and the instrument cluster (as my other 16V developed over the years), but this one is clean and uncracked.... tempting me to swap them out LOL!!! Feel free to ask any questions you have on the car... it's no problem. Thanks! June 9th, 2024 at 1:
