I originally bought this car for the low mileage engine. I felt I needed it for my other Mercedes. As it turned out the other engine was fine. We decided to keep this and restore it. The car had only been driven for 11 years and then parked. We took the gas tank out and cleaned it out as well as the fuel lines. We installed new fuel pumps. It ran well, but drove only back and forth from town as the tires were old. I then parked it last year to work on other projects. Now it is not drawing the fuel up again, but runs well if fuel is put directly into the intake. The clear coat is beginning to peel. The windshield is cracked. The tires are old. Most of the electrics work including the clock. I have new front end parts which were going to do on a ground up. They go with the car. Three AMG wheels. It's a good solid car at a decent price.
