It really sets the car apart! thanks for your message!May 1st, 2025 at 7:50am ESTMercedesDad (134) 0The pano roof alone is worth half the current bid. May 1st, 2025 at 2:52am EST$9,750 bid placed by @babtainyApril 30th, 2025 at 9:14am ESTstanmirzayev (7) Seller 0@Savaskoc Hi there! Great question—yes, the front tires are from 2017 and the rears were replaced in 2022. The car has always been garage-kept, and there’s no dry rot or cracking. Tires all the way around are in excellent condition. Thanks for looking!April 30th, 2025 at 2:01am ESTSavaskoc (0) 0Hi everyone! Tires seems to be from 2017. Could the seller confirm?April 29th, 2025 at 4:02pm EST$9,500 bid placed by @ArcherBasilApril 29th, 2025 at 3:22pm EST$7,000 bid placed by @CarObsessiveApril 28th, 2025 at 4:32pm ESTstanmirzayev (7) Seller 0@JoeyBenz08 Hi Joe, I'm a certified mechanic and have been an owner and operator here in Phoenix, Arizona for the past 15 years. I personally handled the maintenance and service on the vehicle during my ownership. If you have any specific questions or would like any particular service details, I’d be happy to provide them. Thanks again for your interest! Best, StanApril 28th, 2025 at 4:28pm ESTJoeyBenz08 (4) 0When was the last time it had a major service done at an authorized Benz dealer? Thanks JoeApril 25th, 2025 at 3:56pm ESTstanmirzayev (7) Seller 0If anyone is interested to see the car in person I would be happy to meet you or even FaceTime :) ... Happy Bidding!April 25th, 2025 at 3:55pm ESTstanmirzayev (7) Seller 0@polishadonis Hi , The car is all original with no prior paintwork, and the bumper has never been repaired. Have you had a chance to view my video? It's not the best view but I do take the camera underneath. Thanks for your interest! April 25th, 2025 at 3:51pm ESTpolishadonis (0) 0Has the bumper every been repaired? Photos of the underneath would be helpful. Thank youApril 25th, 2025 at 1:09pm ESTR129Emperor (3) 0Leaking hydraulics isn’t a deal breaker but it’s definitely annoying and expensive. And messy. Been there twice. Love my fully functional soft top especially in the summer !April 25th, 2025 at 12:00pm ESTR129apprentice (15) 0Geez.. orthopedic seats! Didn't see until now! April 25th, 2025 at 10:55am ESTstanmirzayev (7) Seller 0@R129apprentice I couldn’t agree more—well said. These cars are for people who appreciate the engineering and are willing to get hands-on when needed. The manual operation isn’t rocket science, and anyone who’s been around an R107 knows this is still a huge leap forward. Appreciate your perspective!April 25th, 2025 at 10:37am ESTR129apprentice (15) 1If anyone looks at the hydraulics as being a deal breaker, or causes any anxiety; I don't believe this is the car for them. Not to mention that the R107 never had this capability, along with the fact that the R129 is very simple to operate manually with the 6mm Allen and the open ended 10mm tool. April 25th, 2025 at 2:14am ESTR129Emperor (3) 0Given the soft top is supposed to work automatically, and this is a late model r129 the soft top inoperability literally is a big deal, not just a minor issue. Replacing all 11 hydraulic cylinders is a $2000-$3000 affair… definitely don’t raise the roll bar or that’s not coming back down till the repair happens!April 24th, 2025 at 10:44pm EST$6,000 bid placed by @ArcherBasilApril 24th, 2025 at 10:37pm ESTstanmirzayev (7) Seller 2@R129apprentice Thanks so much for the kind words — really appreciate you taking the time to notice the details. This car’s been a joy to own and it means a lot coming from someone who clearly knows their R129s!April 24th, 2025 at 9:26pm ESTR129apprentice (15) 2The sport package is the cherry on top! That AMG front bumper is golden and hard to come by in excellent condition like yours!April 24th, 2025 at 8:27pm ESTstanmirzayev (7) Seller 0@R129apprentice Absolutely — black on black with these wheels just hits different. It’s a timeless combo and really completes the look. Appreciate you pointing that out!April 24th, 2025 at 8:16pm ESTR129apprentice (15) 1Not to mention black on black with some of the nicest wheels from the r one twenty nine series in my opinion, the cleanest look.... April 24th, 2025 at 7:50pm EST$5,000 bid placed by @Mbb79184April 24th, 2025 at 7:00pm ESTstanmirzayev (7) Seller 0@R129apprentice Thank you! Really appreciate the kind words. Totally agree — the soft top issue is minor compared to how well this car has been cared for overall. The Pano top, the condition, the options — it’s getting harder and harder to find them l
