Thank you....bwampDecember 28th, 2021 at 5:25pm ESTDastan2021 (0) 0Congrats 🎉 it amazing carDecember 28th, 2021 at 5:25pm ESTAlt767Gelt (15) 0Constructive Criticism inbound; MB Market- Received text alert on auction close but the site was so incredibly slow (not to mention one has to login each and every time one accesses the site) that I completely missed out on being able to bid. That’s great for the winning bidder on a no reserve auction but terrible for the seller or potential bidders who would like to purchase an automobile. Congratulations to the lucky winner! It appears you have a wonderful 420SEL at a great price. December 28th, 2021 at 5:25pm ESTdduanee (8) 1Congratulations, @bwamp - That's an exceptional buy!

A lot of them buy low mileage cars with significant and costly maintenance and cosmetic condition issues. The more you spend time with the cars from this era (in my case 25+ years) your eye gravitates the tell tail signs of usage and storage of the vehicle over its lifetime. Look at this vehicle's undercarriage, and its gray/white exhaust manifolds !!! This car may have lived in the Northeast, but I can easily surmise that it never saw a salt covered roadway. Park a car like this anywhere in the Northeast outside for 1 year and the exhaust manifold will be rusted over. Interior looks like a 20k mile example. Very nice car !!! I will be watching this one closely. Good Luck !!!December 24th, 2021 at 3:33pm ESTMBSince85 (42) Seller 1@APSloan1 Hello, the timing chains and guides were just inspected and did not need replacement. They present themselves in “like new” condition and are still bright in color. There is no slack in the chain either. Another good sign of health would be from examination of the cold start video as well ( the car was sitting for 2 weeks unstarted at that point too ). Thank you. December 24th, 2021 at 12:09am ESTAPSloan1 (4) 0The timing chain and guides were inspected and just wondering if they had ever been replaced in the past. Usually around the 100k mark the chains have stretched some and on a car this age the guides have become brittle. What was the result of the inspection and have the chain or guides been replaced in the recent past? Thanks.
