Vehicle Description
Seeking a classic flagship convertible that is built like a brick
structure? This mid-1990s Mercedes-Benz more than fits that bill.
This low mileage example is showing just 27xxx miles.
Built in Bremen, Germany in August 1995, the previous owner's has
owned and garaged the car since 2016. Dressed in black (code
DB-040) with gray lower body cladding and a new black cloth
power-folding soft top and a black, removable hardtop with heated
back glass, are all in very good overall condition. The engine bay
is very tidy while the cargo area is in good order. The dark gray
bumpers look great and fit tightly to the body.
It underwent an pre-delivery inspection (PDI) on September 26,
1995, by Loeber Motors in Lincolnwood, Illinois. The car was
initially registered in Illinois on November 2, 1995, and remained
there until the previous owner bought it in 2015.
This big Benz rolls on Continental Extreme Contact radials, size
255/40ZR18 in front and size 275/35ZR18 in back and all four are
mounted on highly desirable AMG Monoblock wheels. The wheels and
tires are all in very good order. The front suspension has
independent damper struts with separate coil springs and
gas-pressurized shock absorbers, triangular lower control arms with
anti-dive geometry and stabilizer bar. The ASR and ABS Light is on.
The rear suspension independent five-arm multilink with separate
single-tube gas-pressurized shock absorbers and coil springs,
geometry for anti-lift, anti-squat and alignment control and
stabilizer bar.
Under the gas-strut counterbalanced hood is a 6.0L DOHC, 48-valve
V-12 engine (code M120). Backing this motor is a four-speed
automatic transmission (4G-TRONIC). This car has a long list of
creature comforts - electronic climate control, cruise control,
power rack-and-pinion steering, power four-wheel disc brakes, power
windows, power locks, power sideview mirrors, power seats with heat
and memory and power antenna. Service in January 2020 included
replacing the drive belt and the battery.
Safety features include dual front air bags, acceleration skid
control (ASR) and anti-lock brakes.
Other features include an adaptive suspension damping system,
headlight washers and wipers and fog lights. In front, Mercedes'
famous Monowiper is there. There's a deployable roll bar for the
cabin in the event of a rollover accident.
Inside, the two-tone gray leather interior is in overall great
condition. The matching gray carpet looks great, as does the
four-spoke steering wheel. The inner door liners and dashboard,
complete with a full array of gauges, still looks new, as does the
center console and shift lever. There are burl wood accents on the
doors and center stack. In the dash is a Bose AM/FM stereo with
cassette deck and a CD changer.
The car underwent maintenance intervals at 1,832 miles on August
21, 1997; 2,856 miles on February 18, 1999; 3,528 miles on August
