Nice collection of Mercedes on offer only if I had more garage space!

Another W126 in the future would be tempting.
:D

Missing the 300SE?
Maybe a two door W126 for the next one?

Sounds good Bryce.

Just had a wheel alignment carried out on the C220 which was done at my local Mercedes $99 the castors and toe in and toe out was adjusted.

I could note the difference after the alignment.

Ordered the two other hubcaps which will take a few weeks to arrive according to the Mercedes Dealership.

Postage is of course taking longer due to the ongoing virus crisis.

So many shiny new Mercedes at the Dealership the yellow A45 AMG with a rear spoiler caught my eye.

There was a silver S350d on display and lots of AMG’s very flash indeed!

In fact the C220 was originally purchased and serviced by Mercedes-Benz Newcastle way back in 1996.

When I arrived at the outdoor service centre I did tell the guy the rego and he did have the original owners name and suburb on file we had to update that information.

Sat and relaxed in the showroom which was very flash but sorry to say the Nespresso coffee was quite ordinary but hey it was free so you can’t complain right?!

Cheers guys.

Good stuff Tim.

Now you have had your alignment, please keep a close eye on your tyre pressures.

Maybe when you get new tyres next time, opt for the nitrogen instead of compressed air?

Thank you Brian.
Gotta be true and accurate.

One guy text me offering $1500.

I quickly sent him a link to a rusted out one for twice that.

There certainly are some haters out there, why I don’t know, but certainly haters.

Patrick.. selling Cars is a Big PITA. Dealers don't want them once out of Warranty and with only 20/30 Ks . With Mercs in the past.... does it have Leather .. a Sunroof ...unmarked Paint etc, etc, all for half what the Dealers are asking. :mad:

Sean,
I hear you, but I have met some of the most wonderful people while selling cars.

Some people I would have never met, nor their circles would have I traveled.

I actually have had some of the best experiences in my life selling & buying cars.

This 300SEL doesn't seem too bad. Colour is a bit boring but overall looks in nice shape:
