New Car!!! Wooooo

[cycosis]

yeah i know its nothing super special, its a 1989 mercedes benz 420 SEL, i picked it up as a winter beater but you know, it cleans up pretty good. Did a little armoral detail, some tire shine and a quick wax with "liquid ice" (awesome stuff, so fast comapred to normal waxing). got 410,000 kms on her but she runs like a dream! yeah i know its prolly not worth it, but any have any ideas for some easy mods, to amke 'er look nicer? lower? exhaust to abck up the slow ass V8? needs a stereo too, only got an ipod nano with casset hooked up and only two right speakers work unfortunately. I painted the rims two tone and i think they came out much nicer then the stock silver rust they ahd on em' before.

[cycosis]

[aklalani]

[toyboy88]

hardly what i would call a beater, interior still looks quite decent :D

[Neil4Speed]

Amazing condition considering the milage, you really got a steal!

420SEL's are sweet cars, with brilliant engines.

Congrats! Enjoy the benz.

Its interesting that your using it as a winter beater though, I remember my mom always used to drive the 450SEL we had into snow banks by accident because of the RWD. Women drivers mind you...

[turab16]

my mom has been driving an 89 cressida with 7mge for 4 years now and no accidents , not even slightest yet.... knock on wood...

winter tires make a HELL of a Difference!

insanely clean for 400+k kms!

[djayz]

[Barrington]

it looks really good.. the interior has the same leather as my w124... :hitit:

[a social dsease]

**cue some random stoner wishing his car was called a "420"** ;)

[Weapon_R]

Fantastic condition, fix that sag in your bumper and you should have years of reliable transportation. It looks like that car was well taken care of.
