Re: [MBZ] Going to Check This Out

Checked out the 300SDL. Major league beater, besides having the original head on the engine. It did have a respray that was done quite poorly. I didn’t waste any time, just saw the head casting number and told the seller thanks, but no thanks and why. He was pretty gracious about it, said he ha

Those seats don’t match the rest of the interior, unless there is something really wrong with the lighting. I’m talking about the leather, not the cloth inserts. I’m thinking someone swapped the seats out with ones from another car. Not sure the mis-located badges necessarily mean a respray. The

You could get both displays in the States, as the C version was sometimes mis-ordered by people here so they ended up flagging it in Paragon. I can only assume someone may have swapped seats from another car based on the photos. -D > On Dec 21, 2022, at 1:55 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > w

Re: [MBZ] Going to Check This Out

Wondering if it was a customization added by a prior owner? Not sure why anyone would do that but no accounting for taste. Looks professionally done, if so. Like you said, VIN indicates LEATHER - BEIGE (275) and USA delivery. Maybe the temp display has a Celsius mode? Would make it easier to bui

to Check This Out Yeah, I’m puzzled by the upholstery. It does look like the assigned color code (275 - beige) but the center sections are weird. Nothing in the VIN to give it away. I’ll look for a Federalization sticker on the “B” pillar when I see it. -D > On Dec 21, 2022, at 1:45 PM,

[MBZ] Going to Check This Out

I think. I’m wondering what the deal is with the interior. Looks original, but I’ve never seen upholstery like this. That and the temp display is in Celsius. Wonder if it was a European delivery? Should I be concerned about the M603 engine? Wasn’t this the one with the head problems? https://w
