Vehicle Description
Paint: Blue-Black Metallic (199U, 199O) Interior: Gray Leather
(278A) Clean Carfax indicates that it was sold new in Southern
California, changing hands a few times within California before
being sold to Michigan in 2005. As it sits, the car is in seriously
impressive condition considering that it has covered nearly 100k
miles. Exterior: - Body is excellent. Absolutely no dings or dents.
- Blue-Black Metallic paint shows very well. It's a gorgeous color,
similar to a graphite grey. No signs of age other than a few small
blemishes. No clear coat aging or anything of the sort, the car was
clearly taken care of. The only thing we can really disagree with
on the car is the choice of wheels. Other than that, this is a
seriously handsome car. - Blemishes on the car are all minor.
Blemishes include very minor chipping/scuffing on the lower front
end, a touched-up scratch on the bottom the driver's rear quarter
(just behind the rear wheel), a light scratch ahead of the driver's
rear wheel, and another scratch just behind the passenger door
handle, on the rear quarter (this is the most noticeable blemish on
the car). There is also a couple touched-up scratches on the
removable hardtop. None of these imperfections are glaring by any
means. - Polished wheels shine nice and bright, but do show quite a
bit of pitting inside. - Black soft top is in nice shape. Looks to
have been seldom used, as the car has a removable hardtop. -
Windshield has a small, U-shaped crack on lower passenger side. -
Trim pieces are excellent all around. - Weatherstripping is in
great shape Interior: - Gray leather seats are in great shape and
are extremely comfortable. Driver's outer bolster shows some slight
wear, and there is a very light scratch on the passenger seat
bottom. Excellent condition overall. - Gray carpeting is in
fantastic shape, with no tears, stains, or discoloring. Original MB
floormats will come with the car as well. - Dash is excellent. No
cracks, no damage. - "Wood" panel around the gear lever has a
hairline crack at the bottom left corner. - Forwardmost part of
center console armrest has a broken-off plastic piece - Gauges are
all functional. Odometer reads 93,428. - Radio is functional and is
an aftermarket unit, an Eclipse CD3403. - Powered systems are all
functional: windows, seat adjusts, power top release, roll bar
deploy, defrost, climate control. Air conditioning blows cold. The
controls for the blower seem to be a bit temperamental; sometimes
it responds to your inputs, other times it likes to stay stuck on
automatic climate control. When that does happen, it still allows
you to select a temperature. Under the Hood / Underbody: - Tires
are extremely close to new. DOT number indicates they were made in
2015. - Car is in exceptional condition underneath. Only light
surface rust, absolutely nothing through or even close to it. No
leaks. No damage. - Car runs and drives very well. Hard to believe
it's 25 years old now. The car tracks straight, doesn't hesitate
under hard acceleration, brakes straight and effectively. It's a
confidence-inspiring driver. - Since taking possession of the car
we have had to do very little but drive the car. We inspected the
car, topped up fluids, changed the oil, and hit the road. -
Original owners manual with go with the car, as will the spare,
tool kit, and hardtop stand. Minimal service history documentation.
- Engine bay is extremely clean and well presented. Many factory
stickers are still visible. Foam lining appears to have been
replaced, as it's in excellent shape. Front Air Conditioning, Front
