Re: [MBZ] '86 300E PHX CL
Everything Alex said, I second. AC could just be a oring, or a compr or the evap. that is a total crapshoot. Seats are some upholstery shop recover. Appears to have 4 speakers added in the front door panels. Residue from leaking coolant is common at the front left side, in front and below the #1 plug. It may or may not go 50k miles as is, it it shows seepage there. x On Sat, Jan 15, 2011 at 9:39 AM, Bob Rentfro azbob...@gmail.com wrote: http://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/cto/2161700893.html biodegradable harness? what's up with those seats? $600 car?
