1975 Mercedes-Benz 250 review from Australia and New Zealand
"The best car ever!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, nothing that shouldn't happen to a 32 year old car.
Power steering connection leaked. It was just a matter of changing the ring.
I got a new battery. Then I changed the exhaust because the old one was rusty. I got the big boy (Benz) 2 inch double pipe chrome straight exhaust. That's pretty much it.
General comments?
Drives like a beauty!! I got there a mix of Clarion and "home made" sound system. With the new exhaust it sounds really like a beast! When started light blue smoke comes out, but in few seconds it disappears. It has enough hp for the city.
For comfort I got it tinted with a 95% darkness tint. I have driven many cars, this one (and VW Golf GTI 89) are the best! They have their own spirit. If you have one or are planning on buying one, remember one thing. Benz likes to be washed!
Sometime he doesn't feel like going quickly, and sometime he just flies overtaking all the "tuned up cars" with body kits and stuff. Listen, if you are planing on buying one as a first car or just for driving every day, then do so!! Don't wait anymore! You won't regret it.
