I Few to Texas and drove the car back to South Carolina, Then about a month later drove from South Carolina to New York, through Maine and back. Since then I've driven it throughout the Carolinas for work. I've put a total of about 14,000 miles on this car. This is a California car. It has spent time in California, Texas, and South Carolina. There is no rust on the car.

Probably more that I've forgotten about.
I have rear subframe bushings and a diff mount to be installed on the car also. These parts are Mercedes-Benz. Not that it's not in immediate need of these items but just general maintenance that I had planned to do. It's going to be warmer this week and I might get around to installing them. If not, they'll be included with the sale. The car will have a fresh oil change for the new owner.
