1982 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 500 SEC review from Brazil
"One of a kind, marvelous!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Radiator leecks with 108.000 km.
Oil pump failure at 109.000.
Tie rod ends got old at 109.200 km.
General comments?
The car has a full service history and air conditioning, steering wheels and sunroof. However the cabin is large, the back seats are uncomfortable for a tall person.
Brazil doesn't offer proper assistance for that kind of car at the Mercedes Dealers.
Parts are difficult to find.
