Comments from the seller

This car has been my trusted weekend companion for the past few years, admired for its stunning appearance and smooth road presence. Regrettably, I must part with it due to space constraints, as my attention is now focused on other projects. During my ownership, it has received meticulous maintenance, including regular fluid changes and numerous reliability-enhancing upgrades for worry-free cruising and instant readiness. Over the past years, I have invested in various improvements, such as: • New OEM Mercedes timing chain, tappet cover gaskets, and oil supply replaced • Injector trigger points replaced with new old stock parts ($1,200). • Completely rebuilt all nine injectors, along with new Mercedes OEM fuel lines from Mercedes Gold Coast. • New OEM Bosch alternator. • Replaced the water pump with a new Mahle unit. • Upgrading the exhaust system from headers to tip. • Installing a new OEM Bosch fuel pump and filter. • Adding a new Bosch coil, cap, rotor, and MSD leads. • Enhancing with MSD sport spark. • installed a new battery. • Rebuilt the master cylinder and booster. • Professionally rebuilt the automatic transmission by Merc-a-matic on the Gold Coast. • Replaced ATE discs and pads all around. • Calipers rebuilt the front and rear. • New front and rear windscreen rubbers, among other improvements. These enhancements ensured reliability and provided the confidence to enjoy spontaneous getaways and worry-free drives. It’s a genuine sale and it needs to go. Open to negotiation but won’t consider lowball offers, that have no intent to even inspect the car.
