A road yacht with low annual miles; needing some mechanical, cosmetic repairs .

This is a classic luxury automobile, ith an average of just 7,512 miles annually. My wife and I are the third owners, nd have driven this car with delight for six-plus years. As AutoCheck shows: never any accidents. No pets or smokers, ither. Lots of luxury gizmos, ike, eated leather seats, ose sound and rain-activated wipers. There's a 3.2-L, -6, ith a 5-speed automatic. We get about 18 miles per gallon (mpg) in the city and around 27 mpg on the highway. Remaining tire life is about one-half. The A/C is cold. We found only two other cars like this one for sale within 500 miles of us, ne for $5,950, he other for $6,499 - or, n average of $6,225. Now, stimates to put ours back in tip-top shape and ready for another 100,000 miles include front brake pads ($367), ight-front wheel bearing ($316), ight-side outer tie rod ($253) and main seal replacement ($760). A few bits of rust can be found at several points on the exterior, ith some fading of the clear coat on the rear bumper. (An optional specialty paint job averages $1,316.) The dash has a few small cracks. And the headliner is weathered ($221). But the turning point on whether to keep or sell what is now a third-and-spare car for us occurred just last week. The battery/alternator warning light came on as the power steering got stiff – something that various Mercedes forums attribute to a failed ABS wheel sensor ($300). All tolled, hen, e could spend $3,533 to fully repair and recondition this Mercedes – which is too much for a retired couple to invest in a spare vehicle. Hence, he decision to let "Audrey" go. Just take the aforementioned $6,225 average asking price, educt the $3,533 estimated for refurbishing, nd what you have is $2,692. So, hat’s what we’re asking. Don't wait to make a best offer. And, hanks for your interest.
