INTERIOR – GAUGES

Instrumentation includes a 160-mph speedometer, a 7K-rpm tachometer, and supplementary gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The digital odometer reads 66,909 miles, which is in line with the most recent logged mileage on the CARFAX of 66,669 miles in November 2022.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

The 5.5-liter M273 DOHC V8 was rated at 382 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque when new. The CARFAX outlines maintenance history which included service to the air conditioning system in 2016 and replacement of the drive belts, tensioner, and idler pulley in 2015. Torque is sent to the rear wheels via a console-shifted seven-speed automatic transmission.

UNDERCARRIAGE

Stopping power comes from four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes with cross-drilled rotors, and the CARFAX states that the front brake pads were replaced in 2015. Handling is assisted by Mercedes’ Active Body Control (ABC) and electronic stability control.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS

The CARFAX report shows record of an accident reported in 2014 but notes that the vehicle was not damaged. The vehicle passed a California emissions inspection in November 2022.
