Re: [MBZ] 560 SEL

2021-04-16 Thread Karl Wittnebel via Mercedes
I agree on the 3k thing. I do think there is some regional variation and it
is totally rust free. I could find a 3k version somewhere but if it costs
1k to get it here, it doesnt really put me ahead. Most of these cars are
well over 200k and things like the sun visor mirror lids are all broken
off, or window regulators or sunroof not working, etc. The dash is perfect
and the gauge cluster appears as new. Brake and accelerator pads line up
with the mileage. Oh well. Not paying 5.
