[MBZ] w202 questions

[tom savage]

Yeah, I know, Cheap Class.  But the question of which one to buy has 
recently come up, and I don't know what to recommend, especially since 
maintenance became unneccesary about that time.

If I've got my timeline straight, FSS, M112, and the sealed tranny 
started in 1998?  And was the "green" wiring harness fixed by '97?

I am thinking that a '96 or '97 C280 is probably the best bet/value 
right now assuming the head gasket and harness are okay.  Thoughts?

Thanks,
Tom
