Well, it didn't last too long in the hands of the new owner - presumably a Car Dealer. In fear of being taken to task on commenting on the condition of a car, may I point out some details interior wise ? Okay, so we have MB Tex material seat covers - unfortunately, with a 6.9 that is a definite draw back. Sure, MB Tex is a wonderful, long lasting material, and certainly more durable than leather - but it can only be considered as a big NO NO. If the leather interior is worn, one just needs to bite the bullet and re-upholster and one needs to be a dedicated owner to undertake the sort of expense that involves.

Furthermore, look at the condition of the front door trims which have no padding left behind the perforated material. Again, that's a 'no no', especially when the asking price is $12K. Also, look at the colour of the carpets - discoloured, probably as hard as rock, cracked binding etc. Unfortunately, the parchment coloured carpets suffer badly. I have just been involved with installing new upholstery and carpeting in a stunning Magnetite Blue, and it is my intention to show photos in a separate thread. Those photos will illustrate the difference between old and new and, believe me, the contrast is mind blowing. Just have to work out how to transfer from iPad to PC, to Photobucket and then to TK. Regards. Styria. Anyway in the condition as in photos, the car is overpriced.

Unless of course, it was ordered with MB Tex and you would need the data card to confirm that. If so, and it was factory delivered, it would be detrimental to its value to replace it with leather.

From what I remember this isn't the first time it's been up for sale since leaving the hands of our TK member. But we're quick to forget and I'm one of those people.
If the interior was changed it'd be easy, but not inexpensive to change it back. I'd buy it on the colour combo alone but as with every W116 is must be thoroughly inspected for rust

The dealer is Martin Kass...
Works from an underground type garage (all legal) and is an honest broker.
