Very clean 1991 Mercedes Benz 300 SE, W126 Chassis, short wheelbase.
Acquired from original owner's estate in McLean, VA last summer with 143K original miles. Now has 146K.
Exterior 7/10, Interior 9.5/10
Pros:-Extensive maintenance records, and manuals, first aid kit, spare tire, tools all in place(see below)-Drives exceptionally well - smooth, tight, stable, strong brakes - no squeaks, rattles, shimmies, etc.-Garaged from day 1-no kids, no smoke, no pets, no stains, no odors, no abuse-interior is very very clean - back seat appears to have been rarely if ever used, zebrano wood trim is 99% crack free (there is a tiny hairline crack around the shifter that you have to look very hard to find); no cracks in dashboard, gauges are clear and bright, leather is supple and in great shape (very light wear on driver's bolster, otherwise pretty much flawless)-enthusiast owned since last summer and good recent maintenance and updates - please see records below-Accessories that work as designed: All windows, sunroof, auto climate control heat and A/C, drivers power seat (passenger power seat switch only works front/back), cruise-leather has been treated with Griot's Garage products, new hexmat rubber floormats installed (the original Mercedes mats are missing)-has brake dust shields which have helped preserve what appears to be the original finish on the original Mercedes alloy wheels-comes with a number of spare parts that I haven't had the time to install including items for a fresh tune up, fuel filter, power steering filter/fluid, spark plugs, etc. -I have a replacement badge that comes w/ the car for the "300S" emblem on the trunk, which is missing the 'E'
Cons:-Accessories that don't work: radio/cassette, power antenna, passenger power seat only works front/back-original paint looks great from 20 feet away - upon close inspection however, the typical light fading/scratching that seems to happen to light colored Mercedes of this vintage is present-there are a few door dings - nothing major, and I suspect that a dent doctor could remove them for little cost-car needs engine mounts
Here is an accounting of maintenance done to the car, for which I have the supporting records:
