1988 Mercedes-Benz 420 SEL w126 Chassis Charcoal Gray

V8 4.2L, 104,000 miles, charcoal exterior, palamino interior, 2nd owner
Strong engine and transmission, good tires, all working electric functions (windows moonroof, and headrests). The AC runs cold, oil pressure good (rises on acceleration and drops on idle after warmed up), temperature remains at 80 (which is normal), and all other guages function properly.The car comes with origional Becker Grand Prix radio but no sound coming through speakers - possiby bad fuse. Interior looks great - no rips or tears. Exterior looks great besides the isolated dents mentioned below. When doing research on these cars, it is referred to as a w126 series.
I did have the windshield replaced (last fall) due to a leak that the previous owner didn't repair or disclose and the chrome trim at the top center bulges up a bit. New replacement trims were not availalbe. Also - during the installation - the technician showed me where the front left A pillar had begun to rust due to the leak. They repaired this before installing the new glass and no further damage was found as well as no more leaks since repair. There have been no other leaks; all seals and gaskets are in excellent condition (including moon roof) indicating that the car avoided the weather most of its life. I also had it garaged about 1/2 of the last year that I've owned it. The carrecently took a hit on the rear left roof and C pillar by a dead limb creating four dents.The picture showing the dents on the roof looks as though they have holes in them. The reflections from the tree and the sun distort the image - there are no holes in the dents. PDR (professional dent remover) has been highly recommended as the most appropriate and cost effective repair method.
There were a few discolored or light spots that didn't wipe out along with some road wear (chips you can see on the RH rear quarter panel picture). There is absolutely no rust anywhere on the car.
I will forward all of the receipts/repairs documentation to the buyer as I have repaired or replaced many of the typical steering and suspensioncomponents, fuel filters (2), lamp bezel, hood release cable, and more.
