The transmission shows light surface oiling underneath, but there is no active leak or dripping. It’s been stable and hasn’t required topping off. 2. Radio and power antenna are both currently working as intended. 3. No fluid leaks are present when the car is parked — no puddles or drips underneath. 4. As for the coolant, the level is within normal range and has remained stable. The engine runs at proper temperature with no signs of overheating, so a flush hasn’t been necessary during my ownership. Let me know if I can provide anything else.May 26th, 2025 at 3:04pm ESTVikingCat (2) 1I was reading through the service records. Can you confirm 1. the transmission leak has been resolved, 2. The radio and antenna work, Does the car leak any fluids? When was the last time coolant was flushed? ThanksMay 25th, 2025 at 11:12pm ESTDanovskiMB_1986 (13) Seller 1@I_B_Bass Good question — I haven’t changed the brake fluid since I’ve owned the car, and I don’t have documentation from the previous owner either. It’s possible the previous owner took care of it, but I can’t confirm that. That said, the car hasn’t indicated that a brake fluid change is due, and everything feels and performs as it should.May 25th, 2025 at 10:37pm ESTI_B_Bass (2) 1I noticed that at the most recent service brake fluid replacement was deferred. Maybe I missed it, but I didn’t see brake fluid replacement noted in any of the other service records, is that correct?May 25th, 2025 at 8:40pm ESTDanovskiMB_1986 (13) Seller 1@VikingCat Thanks for the kind words — I really appreciate it! Yes, the Carfax report is posted and open to view directly on the listing. You should be able to access it easily in the auction page. As for the accidents, from what I understand, they both occurred over 15 years ago, during the ownership of the first owner. Unfortunately, I don’t have documentation about the repairs, but based on the Carfax and how the car presents today, it appears they were minor — possibly just cosmetic front and rear incidents. There’s absolutely no sign of previous damage anywhere on the car. It drives beautifully and looks like a showroom piece — the condition really speaks for itself. Happy to answer anything else you’re curious about!May 25th, 2025 at 8:26pm ESTVikingCat (2) 1Hi. Really pretty car. Love color. Did you post the carfax reports? What were the accidents? Specifically what was damaged and replaced/fixed?May 25th, 2025 at 7:51pm ESTDanovskiMB_1986 (13) Seller 1@WhidbeyDan Good day! Thanks so much for the question. I don’t have a stand for the hardtop—what you see in the listing is exactly what comes with the car. That said, I’ve been using a ceiling-mounted pulley system to lift and store the hardtop, and it’s worked great for me. Just wanted to be fully transparent about that. Let me know if there’s anything else I can help with—happy to answer any questions!May 25th, 2025 at 7:12pm EST$12,000 bid placed by @Benz300TDMay 25th, 2025 at 6:37pm ESTWhidbeyDan (1) 0Good afternoon. Wondering if you have the hard top stand by chance? Thanks.
