This is a car that i purchased from the original owner that happened to be an acupuncturist and didn't clean out the car very well, ended up finding all these acupuncture needles between the seats and stuff, seemed like it had some rattles but it was change under the seats, its a very solid ride which was nice, basically it wieghs about 3800 pounds, has a pretty stiff suspension with stock bilstein shocks, can only hear the rubber of the tires as it goes over rail road tracks but pot holes and stuff send a shock wave thru the car thats hard to fathom, the seats are spring loaded thou so no biggy, found that if you hit a speed bump kind of fast it just glides over it, weird how the suspension works?

Anyway the color is anthracite, its got discs all the way around as well as independant suspension and its setup with the shocks outside and springs inside which makes for a true preformance suspension setup (some cars its the opposite for some reason). Pretty much all i've done is swap the stearing wheel for one with an airbag because it looks better and put a mp3 player in with pheonix gold wiring and cheap pioneer 2 ways all the way around, so no bass yet.

The cars interior has been removed because i let it sit at my moms house over the winter while i was living in Japan and a cheesburger had molded and covered the carpets and some vinyl with mold, also took the opportunity to pretty much detail it and fix the drivers seat which was remarkably easy.

Also for those that don't know, this is the european model, the lights are stock bosch units but were only available in america as aftermarket units, the bumpers are solid and attached to the frame, the us models got bumpers with little shock obsorbers so they pop right back out if you hit something, pretty tight so thats why these cars always have straight bumpers unless they are really damaged, my lights also are adjustable from the dash which is dope to screw with thugs and suv drivers at a stop light if they try to act intimidating.

Also tinted the windows and swapped some interior wood pieces off the wrecked diesel in the back ground, i personally like that cars softer more luxorious suspension, there arn't to many aftermarket suspension kits for these cars so basically have to stick with stock stuff or cut the springs if you want to lower it.

Not much else to say other than luckily the original owner went for the heated drivers seat and the rear seat headrests those are two options that weren't available in the US, other than that its got power doorlocks and sunroof but no leather, climate control, tach, power windows or anything. Oh yeah the rear window defroster works and there isn't any evidence of a repaint, the car hasn't been washed in probebly six months and it shines in these pics, which is a bonus.

So inconclusion, nice color, nice ride, some unique shizit, but it needs some elbow grease and tlc. Enjoy will update with newer pics, hopefully some body may get some ideas...

the crest sticker is for sweden
shot of the airbag stearing wheel and the dash is all taken apart
yummy

nice

the lady brought it over here when she immigrated
wanted to post a pic of the ventalation going under the front seats into the rear foot wheels which is a nice touch and it works good

shot of the generic spare that needs to be cut, got it off eBay for $5, the dealership charges $30 which is definately worth it, this key is longer than the original and doesn't have a mercedes sign anyway moving on..:)

shot of the rear headrests to make the other 123 owners jealous

never been used

bling bling

Will have pics of mp3 player and really clean hubcaps and a nice clean interior in a little while, may even have these 16 inch generic looking clk wheels pretty soon. Probebly post pics of how to take apart the dash and some other things for your viewing enjoyment.
