Tästä uuden auton tieltä myyntiin näyttävä Mercedes! Auto ollut itsellä kohta 3 vuotta ja nyt on aika antaa sen siirtyä seuraavalle, omistukseni aikana tehdyt huollot löytyy paperisesta huoltokirjasta, edellisten toimesta sähköisenä. Auto minun aikana myllytetty ja pinnotettu nanopinnoitteella ja on maalipinnaltaan ikäisekseen siisti laite! Ei sisustakaan huonossa kunnossa ole. Toki 15v vanhassa autossa myös pientä käytönjälkeä paikoin on (ei ole uusi auto). Kahdet hyvät renkaat ja telveksi webasto joka toimii. Vaihdossa en ota mitään uusi auto on jo hankittu, viestillä lisätietoa.
