If that changes, I’ll keep you in mind :)June 21st, 2026 at 7:49am ESTRated_AMG (0) 0@tck_hmmr beautiful car, was wondering if you would be interested in selling it?August 2nd, 2025 at 9:03pm ESTStatic50 (145) 1I’ve owned 12 of this generation S class. This is the nicest looking one I’ve possibly ever seen. The seller was outstanding in his participation. I just had a number in mind and the bidding exceeded that. It doesn’t mean that the buyer overpaid, at all. I’m still a bit envious about his successful bid. Take care of it and nothing will ever change the beauty of this example. Congratulations to both of you on an auction that was handled perfectly!August 1st, 2025 at 5:32pm ESTtck_hmmr (10) 1@Simoli Not to worry my friend! I have a w124 e420 that I've owned since 2017 that this is joining. Very happy to have this as a stable mate :)August 1st, 2025 at 4:56pm ESTSimoli (0) 0Good buy for a special car! Let's hope that the car goes into good use rather than into a flippers/collectors hands who casually has 3 w124 MBs in their inventory. oh there's a lot of them out thereAugust 1st, 2025 at 4:38pm ESTtck_hmmr (10) 1Thanks all!

One cross-country trip, California to Massachusetts.July 31st, 2025 at 6:34pm ESTSimoli (0) 0how many miles would you say that you racked up from road trips as opposed to city driving?July 31st, 2025 at 5:38pm ESTCV528 (10) Seller 1Soft Close Door Functional update/Diagnosis: Stopped at my independent and got an update for the soft close doors. Good news is that the soft touch is working properly for all doors except rear passenger. Apparently the system timed out and the pump is still good. Bad news is the right rear door mechanism is leaking and is no longer available. Will have to figure out a workaround.July 31st, 2025 at 1:49pm EST$7,000 bid placed by @KhanisseurJuly 30th, 2025 at 10:09pm EST$6,750 bid placed by @Static50July 30th, 2025 at 8:09pm ESTCV528 (10) Seller 1Functional update. Yesterday I found the soft touch door closing feature was not operating properly. The vehicle is with my independent today for diagnosis. At the time of posting this comment I do not yet have the repair cost estimate. Keep this in mind when considering your bid. I’m beginning to think this vehicle doesn’t want me to sell it.

And that’s why I like classic cars. Downside to classic cars are they are less safe. The safety aspect brings me back to these which definitely have that covered along with performance and handling. For me that is the complete package.July 28th, 2025 at 12:14pm ESTCICBarkeep (37) 1Just read an interesting article about a growing consumer desire for a more 'analog' driving experience and a couple of quotes caught my eye. "People want an engine. They want to feel the steering wheel vibrate." ""They want the throbbing, the pumping, the heat, the sounds, the shifts, all of these aspects that just make [a car] come alive." These fit that bill pretty darn well.

GLWTA!July 27th, 2025 at 10:49pm ESTCV528 (10) Seller 1Yes, that’s basically what I decided to do and live with it. I thought it could be because of in town wireless signals. It has happened on open stretches of desert road. Could be there were microwave or cell towers over the horizon. There has been quite a bit of technology advances/approaches since 2004. Not surprised if the older system is overwhelmed. July 27th, 2025 at 10:30pm ESTStatic50 (145) 1@CV528 You went much further than I did trying to figure it out. My indy is very good, used to work at MB dealer and he said forget about it. It’s never been solved. Mine worked almost everywhere except one place, heading south on a toll bridge. Worked perfectly heading north. Bizarre but true. You are an outstanding representative for this vehicle. I hope that you get more than I’m willing to pay, but you never know. Have a great evening and the best of luck with your auction!July 27th, 2025 at 9:52pm ESTCV528 (10) Seller 1@Static50 Yes, your brief description sounds like
