*the bad-

1.Headliner is coming down so I tacked it up around the edges.
2.Felt fabric on driver's side piller that seperates the doors has peeled back some.
3.Passenger side mirror is lose. I epoxyed the mirror housings shut on both side so theives wouldn't try to steal them(they tried), so therefore they don't fold in at all anymore. they are stationary now. only the mirror itself moves. the driver side works perfectly with the button. the right side has to be manually positioned.
4. The car is low so the camber in the back will always be out, unless you go back to 15" wheels, so budget for rear tires every 6-9 months depending on how much you drive. the less you drive the longer they last, I drive a lot so they wear out faster. keep that in mind.
5. small beauty dent on the front lower facia. doesn't take away from the overall look. I had to slam on the brakes behind a foolish road rager and I hit their towball. I was planning to cover it up with a Mercedes Grille Badge just to hide it and add character. just fyi.

Serious inquiries only. if you are out of state you need to figure out your own transport costs to get the car.
