Thanks for the compliment February 15th, 2023 at 3:15pm ESTmitchellc (1) 1hello. quick questions. Nor rear sunshade or cd changer? I am outside of Phila Pa. Might take a few days to arrange transport. How long can you hold car after payment? Beautiful car. Was a "pre owned" independant Mercedes full service Mercedes store. 97 e420' s my favorite. Probably sold/serviced 45 units. You seem to have dealt with most all the issues those models had. Thank you Mitchelllc February 15th, 2023 at 2:48pm ESTHJSarafian (11) Seller 2@KingKitty I'm sure I kept the invoice for the wrong parts. I did the work myself, and I am giving my word that the lower arms and bushings were replaced. Happens to the best of us. Cheers!February 15th, 2023 at 1:44pm ESTKingKitty (69) 1You never responded to the question about the Dorman parts. What's up with them?February 15th, 2023 at 1:21pm ESTHJSarafian (11) Seller 0@Jhoagg good question.... no issues at all. Headliner is in great condition. Thanks for the question. February 15th, 2023 at 11:34am ESTJhoagg (15) 1Hi. Pictures don’t show the entire headliner. Any problems with separation at all?

I purchased the vehicle in March 2022, I am not aware of why the vehicle parked for all that time. I will confidently say that throughout this past year of daily driving and going up and down the California coast, the vehicle looks, feels, and drives like a 77,000 mile car. Best of luck to allFebruary 14th, 2023 at 9:36pm ESTPeabo (7) 0Seller, it is interesting that this car covered less than 500 miles between 2009 and 2020. Do you know the back story?

Picture 354 shows an invoice for Dorman upper control arms p/n 520-751 and 520-752. Dorman website with poor photos: https://www.dormanproducts.com/p-11807-520-751.aspx Lower control arms are completely different. Photos 256 and 259 (plus others) show original lower control arms with new bushings. Did you pay a shop to install these parts? They may have gotten some wires crossed.February 8th, 2023 at 2:09pm ESTHJSarafian (11) Seller 0@gsxr I'm not sure what you referencing to. Picture 245 is not a picture of a control arm. The invoice in July is for Lower control arms. You can see the replaced Lower control arms and bushings in all the pictures of the underside. February 8th, 2023 at 12:31pm ESTgsxr (105) 0@seller - the July 2022 receipt for Dorman front upper control arms doesn't match the photos. The control arms on the car (see pic #245) show original upper control arms. Were the Dorman arms purchased but not installed?February 8th, 2023 at 12:29pm ESTgsxr (105) 0@pummer, as an owner of a similar 1997 E420 Sport with factory HID Xenon headlights, I can tell you the HID's put out an incredible amount of light. They are worth the effort to locate and install. Yes, you need to find used ones with good wiring (takes effort) and then you need to install new Hella lenses (available from Europe) because polishing old ones is a waste of time - they don't stay clear. I installed new lenses on on my factory HID lights and it was worth the effort, the improvement over the old polished lenses was amazing. Lamin-X protective film will make the new lenses last longer. I ended up with an extra pair of factory HID lights with good wiring that I eventually sold for $400 delivered a couple years ago. Had them listed on forums and eBay for many months, nobody wanted them. Tip for buyers: Having the factory HID setup means the car is wired and ready for the factory HID lights, including the control module and front/rear level sensors. The lights have automatic level adjustment based on load. Retrofitting HID lights into a car without the factory wiring/sensors/modules is sub-optimal. If you get a set of the correct lights, they are plug & play into this silver beauty.February 7th, 2023 at 2:08pm ESTHJSarafian (11) Seller 0 Hello all viewers, bidders, and commentors. I would like to introduce one of my beautiful pieces to my collection the 1997 Mercedes-Benz E420 AMG Elegance. History: I bought the vehicle a year ago. The previous owner had maintained it very well. When I took possession of the vehicle, I made sure to go through all crucial components as I was going to daily drive this vehicle. I put about 7,500 miles on it since. Drove it up and down the California coast twice, and daily drove to work. The vehicle is well built, reliable, solid, and comfortable. This specific vehicle model was the very first collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and AMG to offer an AMG body kit without the full AMG works. A true trendsetter to what we see today. (The C36 or C43 from 1996 were full AMG cars, this one is just a styling package). The Previous owner did the following repairs/maintenance items: 1. Janua
