It CANNOT be a nitwit.

    That's good news.  Every once in a while I hear about one that 
slipped.  re the water damage - yep, I'm told it sometimes doesn't show 
up for months or a year or more before the problem becomes obvious -
    Of course if some nitwit will fire a weapon into a large crowd I 
shouldn't be surprised when someone sells a damaged car as perfect.

Usually flood cars get a flood branded salvage title. Which is a rebuildable 
title, but it should always carry a water/flood brand, even as a rebuilt 
vehicle. 
https://www.copart.com/lot/38900357
https://www.copart.com/lot/40371337

Either way, the Houston CoPart lot must be overflowing with them.
https://www.copart.com/lotSearchResults/?free=true=flood%20mercedes=1

It's also possible to get a parts only / scrap / nonrepairable flood title, 
which hopefully the deepwater Houston/Harvey cars get.

Re: [MBZ] 08 320 BlueTec

2017-10-02 Thread Larry Turner via Mercedes 

Thanks gang!
  re Kaleb, - where do you find your cars?  I've been looking for a 
while and this one is cheap compared to others I looked at.  This one is 
supposed to be $1000+ below book value and this one is much lower priced 
than most diesels I have found.   I am to the point I will start to 
consider gas engined MBs.   I guess i don't look under the rocks like 
you do ? ;-)


Thanks again,
LarryT

Which engine is to be preferred?

I recall someone on this list saying to avoid 2005 cars.

My '07 (75 kmi) is doing well, so far.  'Had it since May '16.  BTW, the V-6 
is so quiet, that SWMBO "sneaked" up behind me in yard coupla days ago, & I 
didn't know she was there 'til I heard the door unlatch as she began to get 
out.  (I'm not hearing impaired.)
