Condition

This beautiful driving car is low mileage, we believe Henry Koehler to be the second owner who drove the car sparingly. All lights and directionals are in working order. The radio, antenna, a/c and water temperature gauge are not currently working. The a/c fan works fine. There is a small dent to driver side door and one to the passenger door at first body line. The body paint on a scale from 1 to 10 is in our opinion a 6.5. Severe craquelure to paint on the panel between the trunk and the roof line, top passenger side of the quarter panel and some discoloration to the clear coat in areas. Overall scatter scratches and minor chips to the surface and bright works expected with use. The tires with approximately 35% use. The car has passed 2021 inspection. Our condition report is based on our experience, we have not had a Mercedes specialist appraise or review the mechanical aspects of this car. Please consult an independent agent for confirmation of condition. Not withstanding this report or any discussion concerning condition of a lot, all lots are offered and sold "as is" in accordance with our conditions of sale.
