Positive Review

"Rugged and Reliable"

I have had this car for 17 years, and the only required repair has been replacement of the mass air flow sensor. It has had a few Mercedes specific parts replaced, and it still looks and runs like new. The supercharged engine provides plenty of usable power, and the transmission is of the old school variety: not a lot of gears, but they shift at the right spots. The interior has nice wood grain and leather appointments, although the seats are firm rather than that soft, sink into-type leather. The gauges are the simple analog style, and no menu systems to distract the driver. The car is made like a tank, and the durability has been amazing.

Critical Review

"Gently Used 4-door Sedan"

I have driven every mile on this car. It gets excellent gas mileage and has been garaged the entire time I've owned it. Has been maintained well and gently used. It's taupe in color with taupe leather interior. No use shows on leather.

Oldie but goodie
Pros

Still beautiful

Cons

Getting fragile

She Gona be 22 years old. She has served her purpose. Still has speed. Due to age she’s getting fragile. Still looks great! But starting to worry about safety for my 18 Year old grand daughter.

My car has low mileages and my car fax is outstanding. I service my car when it's time and never have missed a service date. The value u are quoting is very low for my car.
