Reluctantly selling my beautiful 1988 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL....
After pining over this car for so long, I finally found a nice one and bought it. I love it and driving it has to be one of the best experiences I have ever had behind the wheel.
The interior is 98% with slight cracking in the crease of the passenger seat, the driver's seat has rubbing marks on the outer edge of the seat back.
no cracks in the dash, no stains on the carpet, no funny smells in the car or in the trunk. I was the third owner/driver of the car. Has the original Mercedes Benz floor mats too.
Wood trim is in excellent condition with only a tiny 3/8" scratch on the console. Everything is nice and tight right down to the sun visors.
ALL of the electrics in the car work... one more time... ALL OF THE ELECTRICS work in the car. I will throw in a couple of spare window switches with it too.
the sunroof is huge and moves along without dragging and closes up tight. Most of its life this car has been garaged as evidenced by the near perfect condition of the exterior window seals, etc. as well as the lack of fading in the red interior, which at this age have usually quite a bit of fading and sun damage.
This car needs nothing. I bought the car by way of a dealer who picks up trade ins, etc. This car was traded in to Mercedes of Portland by the second owner, who from what I can tell owned the car for the last 120k miles. The car had been serviced at Mercedes of Portland and Hartmann Motors, also in Portland. You may contact them for any service records as I do not have the papers from the previous owner. But every inch of this car shows 24 years of love and care. In my time with the car Ive only had to take it in once, to have the idle fine tuned by Omega Motors in NE Portland. I highly recommend them if you are in the Portland area.
So, why you ask, would I give up such a pristine car? Well I am a single father of two small kids. And while the backseat area is large enough that their feet dont reach MY seatback... this is not a car for my wild kids to be in... The car is too nice to have crayons melted into and cereal ground into seats, etc. I have to face reality and drive something that isnt a high end luxury car... who was I kidding?
SO, here is the run down...
Good!
Good tires, newer battery
RUST FREE
lifetime of care and is well taken care of

All the cool stuff works, etc
Bad!
Factory stereo (cassette) is in security mode. you can take it to the dealer to be reset OR you can install a more modern stereo
there is a bb gunshot in the windshield. it had been repaired and wont spread, but its there
There had been some scratched on the bumper I assume, someone had touched them up... the color isnt quite the same... but I didnt notice it for a few weeks after I bought it.
Other!
Clean title, in my name
recently passed emissions in WA state. Tags good through 12/31/13

Racing returns to the streets of Miami for the first time in more than a decade for the Formula E Miami ePrix on March 14, 2015. Formula E has revealed the track layout, which takes the race around the Miami Heat's home court, American Airlines Arena, along the Biscayne Bay. "This event will help to make Miami more of a sports city," says Mayor Thomas Regalado. "In addition, we will show the younger generations that you may have motor racing without noise or pollution." Read more about the event at the Formula E website and see the track layout in detail here. Hyundai has delivered the first ix35 Fuel Cell vehicles to customers in the UK, including clean energy company ITM Power. ITM is responsible for three of the hydrogen refueling stations being built around the EU as part of the Hydrogen For Innovative Vehicles project - the same project that helped bring the Hyundai ix35 (also known as the Tucson) Fuel Cell to Europe. ITM's 700-bar hydrogen stations will be built in London by Spring 2015, each with its own electrolyzer system on site. In the meantime, ITM will use the ix35 for commutes between London and Sheffield, refueling at a site that uses wind-generated electricity from an on-site turbine to power the electrolyzer to make the hydrogen.
