Car came out good at first glance.
Importing LPG is OK. It’s just if it glitches nobody can fix it or get parts? Bor this summer in Europe I’ll run LPG or gas whatever.

It’s super easy, the parts are dirt cheap, take note what system it is and I can get you parts either shipper or I can physically bring them to the US. The exact type of system should also be on a sticker on the car somewhere or in the paperwork regarding emissions / technical inspections.

I’ve had LPG in my cayenne turbo s for 14 years… it’s a 600kw / 805hp capable system (literally two 300kw systems) and it’s been bulletproof since day 1. I changed filters (every 3 years) and injectors (this year), that’s it.

Thanks, it’s registered and insured in the Netherlands, still have Dutch license and all…

Picking up the 18th and go straight to Ring, etc
I won’t drive it that much but to and from ring and around the Ring, Bilsterberg and back. Should be enough to learn what the car needs…

It’s a small spare tire sized LPG tank. And the 100l gas tank. The gauge doesn’t work right either. Once they repair that before shipping, we will see if we keep it or remove :thumbup:

But thanks, good to know someone that can help !!

Seems some fuel gauge issues and one mirror does t work. Typical but very clean.

Needs some cleaning up, but seems like a good clean car that sat for 12 years.
Did a little testing and it seems good enough to ship. needs a little cleaning up, but I think I'll keep it and ship it home.

Another manual S-class is up for auction. It will be interesting to see what the market is in the US for that.
