I've had this car for about 7 years, I didn't buy it from an old lady who could not drive any longer and whose husband had been a wealthy business man. I bought it from a gentleman in Maryland who had inherited the car and did not have a place to store it. I have always garaged it and done most of the maintenance myself as I'm a bit of a car buff. When I purchased it, I was single and had all sorts of time to work on it and drive it around. Now, life has changed, I'm married, have children and I simply do not have the time to dedicate to it or drive it often so I have decided to let it go to someone else who can care for it and drive it as it deserves.
The car is black with tan leatherette interiors. Has never been smoked in, no accidents. All gauges and lights work (including the clock), all handles, pedals, buttons, rockers work with one exception, the radio. I can't get sound out of it any longer.
I had the air conditioning system converted to R134 gas and it works well. Cools well and the controls perform as expected. The heat works just fine as well.
As non wear parts have needed replacement, I have done so, I can recall the fuel pump, the brake servo, two calipers, bearings...
The wood inside the car was redone ($$$) a couple years ago by a firm in Michigan.
A starting solenoid override was added by an MB dealer per MB specifications.
The car as I stated earlier, has been garaged always while I've owned, and has never been driven in snow or ice; there are no signs of rust.
There is a scratch on the trunk lid from me dropping a bicycle on it and scratching it. I've kicked my own derriere a few times over this one; it was one of the stupidest moments in my recent history.
The tread on the tires is good, I'd say about 50% life. Spare is included.
The car does have an engine oil leak from the front crankshaft seal (I'm quite sure is from there although I could be mistaken); it is a slow leak and I have not had to add oil to the engine reservoir because of this in between oil changes.
Let me know if you have any questions, I'll be glad to answer them

2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class lineup shows its freshened face
Mon, 14 Jan 2013Mercedes-Benz showed us its redesigned 2014 E-Class more than a month ago, but the Detroit Auto Show finally gave us a chance to see the full family of mid-size luxury cars and wagons in the flesh. Dieter Zetsche introduced the cars, including sedan, coupe, convertible and station wagon, on stage showing the stylish new design direction.
The wagon and sedan versions (shown as the E400 Hybrid above) will go on sale this spring, while the coupe and cabriolet will hit showrooms over the summer. Check our new gallery of live shots for the entire 2014 E-Class lineup, as well as the previously released press release below.
Mercedes considering GLA-based crossover coupe
Wed, 30 Apr 2014BMW opened a whole Pandora's Box when it introduced the X6 back in 2008. Sure it made little sense, sacrificing all that "utility" for a little more "sport," but it's been a solid success for BMW - especially considering the nominal expense it cost to develop the X6 on top of the X5 on which it's based. Little wonder that, while BMW has already followed up with a smaller version in the form of the X4, other automakers are starting to catch up. And that includes Mercedes-Benz.
The German automaker is preparing to launch a new MLC, based on the M-Class but with a sportier silhouette, and previewed it with the Concept Coupe SUV at the Beijing Motor Show. But that's just the start, according to the latest report from Automotive News Europe.
Mercedes is reportedly considering spinning off an entire line of crossovers more for use on the road than off it. Which may go without saying for most crossovers on the market, but considering the Geländwagen with which Mercedes got its start in SUVs, would mean an even further departure than it has undertaken already.
