Waiting for my 600SEL

Hi,

just traded in my 1987 W126 300SE on a 1991 W140 600SEL.

The 600SEL has 182.000 KM on it, a full service history and comes with a 1 year guarantee on engine, transmission and driveline, besides that it has a half year of Bovag guarantee,that's a full guarantee we have here in the Netherlands on used cars from selected 2nd hand dealers.

Still have to wait 11 more days before I can pick it up.

Daan

And how much is this particular example?

I have very similar, and also in Europe (firstly registered in Italy in 1991).
And runs great - although serves for 'weekend' driving only.

Hi, it was 16K euro. I could have picked one up for 10K but not with any kind of guarantee.

Is the AC covered and has it been re-done, typical charge here is $5,000 and the entire dash comes out, more than 8 hours labor

Yes the AC is covered by the Bovag guarantee. Dont know if it has been done in the past, will have to check with MB. If it hasnt lets hope it breaks in the first half year and if it doesnt that it keeps on working for another 2 years at least, thats the longest I do with a car.

If it was not such a great car I would not have spent all the money over the years. I got my 92 in 95, wish you all the enjoyment, and none of the problems!
