Miscellaneous Stuff

After three plus years of quality service I have decided to move on to a new ride. Not sure what I am going to get but it will be a sedan of some form. In any regard I have a bunch of stuff for my GL that will be of no use to me and will sell for any reasonable offer plus shipping costs. In no particular order here is what I have:

1) Original floor mats--Never used (I put all weather mats on when I got my GL)
2) Crossbars--Never used/I have the keys and allan wrench and they are in a MB carrying case for storage when not using
3) Cargo shade
4) Cargo net/cover
5) WeatherTech cargo liner
6) Alabaster white touch-up paint
7) K&N air filter (never used but a couple years old)

PM if interested. Thanks.............Jeff

Hey.... you and I and others were all part of the "first adopters" on the 450....it was fun "waiting and getting" so to speak! Still have mine and will probably keep it till it falls apart......MB does not make the off road package for it anymore and I really use that to access our Vermont cabin! Have had only minor issues during my 54,000 miles! Enjoy whatever you move to

Yea blittle, nish, nevadajack, stp, jen, brian, etc. were the early adopters as you say. Couldn't have been happier with mine. Really no issues, only complaint would be that it is expensive to maintain but I knew that going in.....On a different note, I'll be in central PA in mid May. Heading back to Bucknell for a few days. Didn't know how close you were to there......

Wow, Jeff......can't believe it has been 3 years for the early adopters The meet up memories are still fresh. All the best with whatever you decide on for the next ride. It does look like the Crossbars are a hot item.

For those of you that don't have the WeatherTech Cargo liner, I would recommend getting one. You will do your carpet a huge favor.

blittle - Jack is doing as good as the Dos Equis guy He still skims posts here every so often and is still changing cars before it's time to change oil. IIRC he has gone through an SL, a C class, and, an E class in the last couple years.

Stay well.
