In great shape. nothing mechanically wrong. just fuel gauge is occasional 1/8 of a tank off. For example, after fill up and 20 miles driving, the guage says 7/8 full instead of full tank. Reason for selling is that I wanted a new car.

My 97' 420 was undoubtably one of the best cars I've ever owned. It was a great all around vehicle. Low on electronics so low on repairs. Sold it with 100k and still ran like new. Good luck with the sale.

Thanks! I've uploaded some pictures. I'm willing to take offers in the $10,500 neighborhood.

Question Is it sold?

Did you trade it in or sell it to a dealer?

If so, mind if I ask? What did you realize for it?

Thanks
