Just bought a 96 s320 with 287k miles
Hello to everyone, I just bought a 96 s320 with 287k, and the car runs great and is really clean, you would think it has 80k,,,
Anyways my question to you guys is how do I convert my cars' body to make it look like a newer s class benz??
p.s do you guys think it is a deal?, I bought it for 5,000 USD (runs perfect, looks great)

As for the price well with no photos - if its as clean as you say you got a fair deal. But I have a '96 and it would talk a whole lot more than that to get me to part with it. They are great automobiles - If you want it to look different or "better" try wheels & tires and stop there. They are better than the newer ones why would you want to look like them???

I do have to admit that the grandmother looking like my girlfreind comment is a good one.....
Anyways I was just thinking about maybe updating to make it look like a new body benz, I heard of people doing that before and I was just wondering how expensive it can get...
as for the smart *** saying I can update it to make it look like a 99, please bro just becuase this is my first Benz , it doesn't mean I don't know about them. Everyone knows 96 and 99 are same body, I am just really excited about getting such a good car for only 5k .
cheers

Congrats...let's see some pics! As far as it goes doing any conversions, it's not worth, costs too much and on the end it just doesn't look right! You have a great looking car...keep it like that. W140 is one of my favorite body styles. Good luck with your car!

Hey brutha! a change of rims and tinted windows will make a huge difference, but like someone else said, to save your money due to a car being that old suspension problem will arise at anytime. My dad bought me a 1999 S320 with 137 miles and change and problems are starting to surface. I also realize that this car is a money pit . Everything in maintenance is like $500 plus. Enjoy your car as much as i am and have your pen ready to write big checks for repairs!lol

With 287K on it & 18 years old, you will need every penny to keep it running well in the future. So why not spend your money on preventative maintenance, instead of flashy bits??
"p.s do you guys think it is a deal?, I bought it for 5,000 USD" ...there is nothing more expensive than a cheap Mercedes!

i would'nt bother changing anything except maybe rims and lights. these cars look great and in most cases......better than new ones. i have a 97 s420 in gold, it looks great.

you could modify the body,to look like a wald.But I would build engine,and transmission first,then give her a turbo.You can build engine more and relieable get 900hp or better.Then get you body,and paint done.
