This will be an entertaining replacement for my tastefully modified W140, which I miss dearly (recently totaled courtesy of some inattentive old codger).November 14th, 2022 at 5:36pm ESTShenanigans (0) 0Nice buy, I missed the heated and vented seats weren’t working when I first saw it. I don’t know enough about the 210 to have factored the repair cost accurately. I know it’s really rare but that’s about it.

This car also fundamentally (engine, transmission, suspension) feels good and solid and I think it would make a long journey without issues, but you have to keep the risks in mind before such trip.November 14th, 2022 at 5:13pm ESTArmyGuy63 (28) 1@TheDanMan Thanks...I have a small fleet of MB's and love the older ones the best. Not being there to see it first hand, I just wanted the owner opinion of the car but respect yours as well! My collection is a split of MB's & Cadillac's in what I call a "Unicorn" collection, having a bunch of cars not always kept.

The newer models with turbos, superchargers, air suspension, and a ton of computers would be worth worrying about but I think this is one of the best cars ever built. There’s M113s out there with over 400k miles still going strong! November 14th, 2022 at 5:05pm ESTUI_Classics (76) Seller 0@ArmyGuy63 I don't see a reason why the car would not make it to Arizona, but in my opinion, it is always somewhat risky to drive an older car that you don't know across country. I have seen much newer cars with much lesser miles break down. November 14th, 2022 at 5:04pm EST124guy (106) 2Get a set of proper Monoblocks on this car and you have an absolute winner! Then sell these wheels and pocket the cash, totally ruins the aesthetic but thankfully an easy fix. November 14th, 2022 at 5:01pm ESTArmyGuy63 (28) 0IF I bid and win this lovely lady, I would fly out there and drive it back to AZ as opposed to shipping it. What are your thoughts on a road trip of 2200 miles?November 14th, 2022 at 3:40pm ESTUI_Classics (76) Seller 2Since the listing is ending soon, I just wanted to say a few things about the car because the MB Market description doesn’t do the justice. Despite the higher miles, the car is actually very presentable and very clean. The body looks all straight and the paint is nice. Even the passenger side where it was damaged, looks like the repairs were done to high standards. BTW, the right doors don’t appear to have been replaced; they were just repaired so the damage could not have been too extensive. The interior is virtually with no flaws with the exception of some wood grain fading and minor cracking. The headliner looks to have been replaced at some point. Mechanically, it is solid and runs strong. It would probably drive nicer with proper wheel size but at least the tires are almost new all around and they won’t need replacement for some time. Front brakes look to have been just replaced including OEM rotors. Overall, based on the cosmetics and how it runs, I would assume the prior owner took good care of it and kept it serviced. November 14th, 2022 at 9:30am ESTUI_Classics (76) Seller 0@Cornell89 yes, the buyer will get 30-day tag. Unfortunately, we didn't dig in into the SRS issue, althought I think we had it scanned at some point and it came out to be driver's side sensor open circuit or short to ground, not 100% sure.November 14th, 2022 at 9:15am ESTCornell89 (0) 0Can you provide a temp tag for an out-of-state buyer? Also, CarFax indicates a MB dealer did a maintenance inspection in June 2022 - was any diagnosis of the SRS error provided?November 14th, 2022 at 7:05am ESTUI_Classics (76) Seller 0@Obie1luv you may be correct. If I remember correctly it's been a Florida car and it's common for upper wood grain pieces to be lighter because they are exposed to sun more and have tendency to fading. I remember having a Lexus with the same pattern. No, I don't have the original monoblocks.November 14th, 2022 at 1:21am ESTObie1luv (4) 0The horizontal center console wood trim around the gear selector and window switches looks to be lighter in color compared to the rest of the wood trim. Is that actually the case? Also, I assume the original AMG monoblocks are not included?November 2nd, 2022 at 6:47pm EST$5,500 bid placed by @Mbb79184
