Engine
NEEDS A VALVE-SERVICE on the r/h head. Issue: once car sits for a couple of weeks,  valve No.3 gets sticky, engine misfires. Did free the valve several times, but head has to be done at a machine shop. Used to run smooth, I did the full service, including new injectors. Absolutely worth fixing it!! Coolant clean. R/h exhaust manifold and air cleaner box already removed, all in the trunk. Ask any Q's about it - I’ll get back to you asap.

Automatic Transmission
Shifts smoothly through all gears, no issues observed during time of our use.

Mechanical
Suspension still snug and tight, rides straight. Newer shocks. Almost new brakes (90%). A/C inop. Tires almost new, have put 200 miles on it before I decided to do a valve/head service. Awesome wire-style knock-off wheels!!!

Interior
Mediocre, two bigger rips on front seats. Dry leather and dashboard. Soft top still OK, but I haven't used it for over 2 years. HARD TOP comes with it, painted in MB color.

Exterior/Body
Original, better than average, but has a dent on l/h door (leading edge, at fender), and a small dent next to the the r/h side of the trunk lid, paint still ok. This car has always been a head-turner with those wire-style knock-off wheels!!

History
Clear title, CA vehicle, titled in CO. No penalties in CA.

Summary
I am getting rid off my toys, because I am moving my business. This baby is sitting on my lot, and I won’t have time for it. This is an awesome bang for your buck!
Low mileage, newer parts, low reserve - you do the math. The hard top and the wheels are $1,000 already.
