1989 Mercedes-Benz W126 series

• the trunk badge says 300SE, not just S-Class, so you know exactly which model your money is on
• teal paint looks glossy in the photos, no repaint money needed on looks alone
• chrome wheel-arch trim and chrome wheels look bright, no trim money needed
• front tan leather is badly cracked and crazed, the driver seat worst, so budget for reupholstery or seat covers
• driver footwell carpet is stained dark, a deep clean at best and new carpet money at worst
• odometer photo reads 103,052 miles, low enough that the worn seats, not the miles, are the spend
• engine bay is dirty with a rusty-spotted exhaust manifold, budget a detail and expect age-related engine spend
• the one underside shot looks dirty but shows no rust-through, no floor repair money obvious from the photos
• trunk looks clean in the sampled photo, no trunk rust money obvious
• one gallery photo is an exact repeat of the first photo, so the 45-photo gallery is slightly padded

Money: at $7,950 the glossy paint saves you repaint money, but the cracked front leather is real spend - fair only if the interior work is priced in.
