BULL......My $500 82 240D was one of the best cars I ever owned. There are
people who sell great things for little money because they are ignorant or
just plain tired of it all over the place. Just have to look and see if
it's a good deal.

Used and Abused. Remember "there is no such thing as a cheap Mercedes".
Causes of seizure:
1. overheated - no coolant or something like that - maybe thermostat stuck
and they kept going;
2. not enough oil - it leaks or uses oil and they didn't bother to check
it often enough (one of my nephews did
that with a late model Chevy pickup); or
3. something broke and has jammed the works
Anyway you look at it, you have to be prepared to spend at least enough to
buy a used engine and install it
Maybe a transmission too? (my experience would indicate that auto trannys
don't like to sit around too long not
being used - seals harden up or something like that - if you keep using
them they last longer than if they sit and
wait for you to fix the car)
And who knows what else it needs?
Buyer beware. Bid low and see what happens.

Seller says engine is siezed - has just over 80K on the clock.
Any thoughts as to why it will not turn over?
