DESPITE IT'S GOOD CONDITION PLEASE NOTE THAT NONE OF THESE CARS ARE QUITE PERFECT DUE TO THEIR AGE AND I WISH TO BE TRANSPARENT REGARDING MINOR DEFECTS. THE ODOMETER FROZE ABOUT 25000 KMS AGO. THIS WAS ONE OF THE EARLIEST AUTOMATIC SUNROOF MODELS SO IT WORKS BUT STICKS AT TIMES (COMMON: THE TRACKS NEED TO BE CLEANED). THE CLIMATE CONTROL SERVO (ORIGINAL AND IN THE CAR) NEEDS TO BE REFURBISHED (FOR COLD AIR) BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THE HEATER, BLOWER AND DEFOGGER WORK.SOMETIMES THE POWER WINDOW ON DRIVER'S SIDE NEEDS HAND ASSISTANCE BUT POWERS UP. A NEW HOOD SHEILD WOULD BE USEFUL. REAR SUSPENSION RUBBER MOUNTS MAY EVENTUALLY NEED REPLACING ( SUGGESTION).
ESTIMATED MILEAGE ABOUT 275K WITH PROPER MAINTENANCE THROUGHOUT THE YEARS AND STACKS OF SERVICE HISTORY TO PROVE IT. THIS CAR HAS TREMENDOUS VALUE AND RELIABILITY AND STARTS ONE SHOT AND RUNS AND DRIVES WELL WHILE EXUDING SHEER ELEGANCE. A LITTLE INVESTMENT CAN MAKE IT CONCOURSE BUT IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A GOOD ORIGINAL EXAMPLE OF AN SLC THAT WAS BUILT TO LAST IN STUTTGART AND IS A PLEASURE TO OWN AND CAN BE USED AND DRIVEN THEN THIS IS THE CAR FOR YOU.
SHIPPING IS THE BUYER'S RESPONSIBILITY BUT I CAN ASSIST.
