[MBZ] idle question on 99 E320 wagon
One of the third tier dealers as I call them (not a new car dealer, not a big used car lot, but a place with about 10 - 15 cars for sale at an abandoned gas station) has a '99 E320 wagon with 4matic for sale. It looks like a nice car inside and out, but I never make the first stop at a place like that when they are open so I don't know how it runs, how many miles, etc. Very likely no maintenance records. In all probability this car would be too rich for my wallet, but what would be any likely problem items I would want to be on the lookout for? Allan -- 1983 300D 1966 230

Be careful if you start looking seriously at one - All those flood damaged cars must be *somewhere* !!

I have trouble believeing they were crushed Friend of mine told me that most insurance totals in the USA are resold in Mexico where they are put back into running condition with duct tape and rubber bands. Not sure if it's true. -- 1983 300D 1966 230
