Went to look at this car today for grins: https://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/cto/6175895598.html
Understand that this car is in one of the “Old money trendiest” neighborhoods int eh area, South Tampa. The house was easily a $1,000,000 house. OMG. It had been parked for nine months. Trunk needed a repaint, as it had been repainted previously. OK, I could easily deal with that. Interior was scruffy. I had been texting back and forth with the owner, as they said they had just put a new battery in the car and it wouldn’t start. Knowing what I do about the “smart keys” of that vintage I was undeterred. So I start looking around and see that the back seat is out of the car and the battery is there, disconnected. I open the door and take a closer look. It’s in backwards. <head slap> Owner’s kids had been trying to connect it backwards…. I turn it around and hook it up, tighten the terminals with the tools they had lying there. Sit in the driver’s seat, cranks right up. Engine sounds like a sewing machine. No doubt some sticky lifters after sitting for almost a year. No AC. Vents blow out of the defrost, nothing moves or changes in different ACC modes. What a POS. But hey! We’ve got full service records! I told him to describe it accurately and list it for $2000 and he might get lucky. He thanked me and apologized for wasting my time. -D _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
