Pricing is $10-25K
What are some of the problem areas on these cars?
Ohh nice car, timeless, wonderful to drive any distance, mind I have
a bias opinion. Quite easy to spend $5K on repairs without blinking.
I see mercedes canada only has 3 for sale, $24-28k. Look for a 98/99
they have all the toys and some of the engineering issues worked out,
that might delay some fixes by a couple of years as compared to a
92-93 era.
engine harness, that replaced?
A/C evaporator? (big$)
electronic throttle actuator (ASR system) comes with non-oem-
replacable potentiometer that wears, entire unit$ I'm sure...
door/trunk vacuum pump works?.
Long list, which is why depreciated so much I'm sure, still if you
had 410K set aside for repairs and not twitch over it, you can have a
nice comfy car. Still you might find a nice example maintained by
someone who certainly won't get his resale value out of it, no mine
is not for sale...
My dad
does very few miles now that he's retired, but I'd like a big safe
comfortable car for him and Mum. Gas mileage is not a really big
issue.
