Its surprisingly easy and inexpensive to import a car from Japan. There are lots of websites setup to help you with the process. I've been playing with https://carfromjapan.com/ to look at the little Kei trucks. I'd like to get a dump truck for the farm but the ones I find are beat, they want

In the U.S. And yes, I liked the little “faux Jaguar” we saw in TN on CL a few months ago, too. For the money it was a cool car, but I also had questions a CVT from that time frame. That and the interior wasn’t what I expected, either. Very plasticky. -D > On May 17, 2023, at 6:18 PM, Bob

Tow hitch, interior looks pretty good considering the miles. Would need to find out what the codes are for. Wonder what caused that area of crackled paint on the front third of the hood? Car bra? https://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/cto/d/tinley-park-2007-mercedes-ml320-cdi/7622328688.html

Re: [MBZ] This is Close to Dream Car

My W116/W123 dashboards are not as bright as a modern car, but bright enough. I don't like a bright dash anyway, I feel it interferes with my night vision (don't get me started on the blinding blue/white light of modern car headlights). My W116 dash is all or nothing right now, it works with

People do the LED upgrade to get more lumens out of the lamps. I guess it works, but to be honest, I like the warm glow of the little incandescent lamps, even if they’re marginal at their job. -D On May 17, 2023, at 4:14 PM, OK Don via Mercedes mailto:mercedes@okiebenz.com>> wrote: Probably

Re: [MBZ] This is Close to Dream Car

It may have improved but the problem with LEDs in the dash used to be they emit a very directional light. Dash lighting depends on light reflecting from the edges, or passing through diffusers or "light pipes". With LEDs, you might get spotty lighting, or even very little because the bulbs are

Re: [MBZ] This is Close to Dream Car

I think it would be very difficult to tell if you had put LED bulbs into the dash other than the dash being easier to read. I've never driven a 115 but the 123 cars definitely benefit from LED dash bulbs. -Curt On Wednesday, May 17, 2023 at 04:53:06 PM EDT, Randy Bennell via Mercedes wrote:

I did it in both of my 240Ds. The only pain point was that the sockets are keyed yet the LEDs will only work when plugged in one way and IIRC you have to put the pod in to test it. The LEDs gave the brightness of xenon bulbs without melting the housing. A definite improvement on a 123 car. I

Re: [MBZ] This is Close to Dream Car

If the LED dash lights are not a thing, I think they ought to be. My dash lights are out and I need to fix them. They never were bright enough so if I am going to take it apart, I want to make it better. I am not worried about the car not being absolutely original. Randy On 17/05/2023 2:26

I like that. I always wanted a 60's XJ6 but have been smart enough to not buy one. It is too small and I don't want whatever the brand is but I like the styling. I like the PT Cruiser but have not had one of those either. I don't like the little Chevy whatever that was similar as much but I
