One Item to note - Condition of the body paintwork - The clear coat on the car is in very good condition and from a few feet away the paintwork looks good. However, when you are close to the car you can see the paint under the top coat has 'crazed' to present something that looks like a mosaic effect. This is evident on the entire car and the effect varies depending on the panel observed. I've added close-up photos to illustrate the effect.
The car is available to view, during normal business hours, at Ronnie Jackson Mercedes, 221 Tuam, Houston, TX 77006. If you have any questions please call Ronnie directly at 713-529-2014.
