Mercedes-Benz : S-Class SE for sale
Current customer rating: (245 votes ) based onENGINE:
Engine starts up right away. Settles into a nice smooth 700 rpm idle. Difficult to tell when engine is running it is that smooth! Revs build effortlessly to redline. No pinging. no missing or knocking. No smoke of any color from exhaust. Temperature gauge never moves past midway. Normal seepage in engine compartment. but nothing I would categorize as a major oil leak.
TRANSMISSION:
Clutch engagement is smooth and precise. No slipping or chattering. Gear shift moves effortlessly between gears with no grinding or clunk. No evidence of gear whine of any kind.
SUSPENSION:
This car is lighter than your average "S" class of this era. Suspension has less weight to deal with. It feels like a much lighter car. No bottoming out of shocks. Suspension still surprisingly tight. No wandering or drifting of the front end.
TIRES/BRAKES:
Tires have approximately 30% tread left with even wear. Brakes are at 60%. No brake pulsation. no squeaking. car stays straight and true upon braking.
INTERIOR:
Basic velour material on seats has held up well. Obvious wear on driver seat. but passenger and rear seats show no wear at all. Dash cover hides a number of vertical cracks in the the top of the dash pad from sun rot. Wood trim has also held up nicely with no fading or cracking. Headliner is still intact. I will include sheepskin front seat covers that came with the car.
ELECTRICAL:
All electrical components in good working condition. Air conditioner has been converted to R134.
EXTERIOR/PAINT:
Paint is the weak part of this car. At some point. it was resprayed in it's original color. but probably not a quality effort. Hazy shine in most places. however. fading in others. No obvious body work or evidence of panels having been removed. All body panels are straight and still fit nicely. A nice respray is all this car really needs.
