Traded for this Mercedes, 42k milles

So we traded my wife's Honda ATV for this 1978 Mercedes 450SL, no rust, 42K miles, runs great! What do you think?

I want Zooey Deschanel, an EDS-1275 and a Duesenberg.

I have some old marbles and a half can of Keystone Light to trade.

Get on it..

BTW, this is the Honda ATV we traded...not your average Honda.

So just over 1,100 miles per yer. That is a low mileage car. Wow.

Just took the car to my local mechanic, car received a good bill of health. Belts, hoses, brakes, tires, AC charged, suspension, fluid levels, etc. They confirmed the undercarriage is rust free as is the body.

So all in all I am very excited to have the car. I drove it 300 miles back from Idaho just this past week after we made the trade and it performed very well.

Now to decide if I keep it or sell it. I have a feeling it will be hard to sell here in Montana.

Wow! That's pretty amazing, especially for a 37 y/o car. Actually, I think being driven only an average of 1,000 miles per year wouldn't be all that good on consumable items - but if it checked out A-OK, that's great.
