My job requires me to have 4WD ;-(
Bad Stuff:
This car needs paint, it has no rust. Minor damage on RR
quarter was painted poorly by PO. This was a Southern car, all the
paint is in poor shape.
Sunroof is inop, requires 425 parts and $400 labor repair
Car is ready for rear brakes. I'd change rotors & Calipers if
I was doing it.
Dash has 2 cracks which proves it's heritage.
Good Stuff:
Car uses 1qt of Delvac1 in 5,000 miles.
I use M/B coolant and M1 ATF.
I have oil analysis to show that engine is sound.
Car has recent front brakes, rotors and calipers w/hoses.
Car has 16" late style wheels, 2 good Nyokia <S> snow and
front Bridgestones that are serviceable but nothing to brag about.
In the past 2 years (50Kmi) I have done the following: New
Radiator, water pump, vacuumed pump, shut-off valve, new lifters, glow
plugs. P/S pump.
New M/B exhaust system last year.
Interior is decent, needs new mats and TLC
Modern radio {Jap} with CD player.
This car is my daily driver and long trip specialist. It runs 100%.
Proof? I'll deliver within 1,000 miles for the cost of return air
fair.
I would like to sell to alist member as it's a good piece. If I fail
to sell it, I will store it, my experiance has not been good doing
that.
Contact me off list, put "300SDL" in the header.
Kalib need not reply ;-)
