They do have power seats, and door locks, they just leave out the small

My only personal experience with what was referred to as slipped belts by
the mechanic, (and like you, I don't think a slipped belt was what was
really going on) was in several GM cars that came with General Tires. Not
the best roads around here, especially right after the winter, but I would

I'd love one, but this is NOT a
$39,000 car! Underside is very untidy
I've thought about loading it up on an older PC to see what it can do. I'm
not a PC guy in general, and while not totally unhappy with my current PC
running Vista, I'm not overly impressed either. It would be fun to run a
copy of Ubuntu and see how it does. If it surprised me, I might switch my
I'd love one, but this is NOT a $39,000 car! Underside is very untidy, and
the wood looks like it was revarnished with a mop! Have to put a bit more
time and money into it, before you can ask this kind of money, even for a
6.3, in my opinion.
I'm kind of fond of that colour combo too.

It is an older car, but even so, I don't think the conditions reflects a
true 39,000 mile car. I think the rubber bits in the engine had a quick
wipe down with an oily rag, but hard to believe some of the lines, bolts,
and connects could look like that with such low mileage.

I think they're pretty cool, but as far as build quality, I'd rate them
pretty low for Mercedes. Not saying they aren't good, or reliable, but
build quality, I don't know. Then again, they were military trucks, so
really tight assemble was not top priority, just getting the troops to and
