But you missed the major new development, ready to proudly take its place alongside "Gets 48 mpg!" in the Mercedes vendor glossary:

tires are in semi new condition
Of course, like me, you were probably so gobsmacked by the fact it has red calipers, you missed a detail or two.

its never been in any ancients though, so no oil pressure shouldn't be a problem

Someone should find out what the seller's first language is. I'm really hoping it's not English.

I suppose I shouldn't ruin the fun by suggesting that the gauge may be the broken item?

Not red calipers. Red calibers. But at least it's got 'AMG rims'.

Happy Motoring, Mark

you do know that the oil pressure sender on a 124 is electrical and is merely not sending signal right ?

i fail to see whats so terrible about that car......so the person obviously doesnt speak english....so what.....

if it didnt have anything major i would probably go 3 grand on that car.....it's nice, and one does not get s124's in america very often.....
