Or, “How much do you want to pay to make it worth our while?”

They’re still harassing me about bringing my 2008 ML550 in for the brake 
booster recall check. Thing is, if they check it and find that it is affected 
(I’m pretty sure it’s not) they won’t let you drive the car off the lot. Or so 
I’ve been told.

Nice! Thanks for sharing!

I do have to sort of chuckle, as their “dead cart” offer (when you put 
something in the shopping cart and abandon it) is 5% off shipping. I think my 
last order it saved me like $0.30.

Re: [MBZ] Parts cleaner

Have a look on Youtube as well for videos on upgrading your HF parts 
washer. Mostly a  matter of moving the pump into a 5 gallon pail under 
the tank and putting a filter inline to clean the solvent.

Re: [MBZ] Parts cleaner

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

I have not built one but I agree there's nothing to them but a box and a pump.

I bought a cheap HF one years ago. Used it a few times, then it ended up 
sitting for a long time. Don't even know if it still works.  But it worked fine 
at the time and I'd guess it's as cheap as anything you'd make yourself from 
comparable parts.

I used a strong solution of simple green as the cleaner, IIRC. Didn't want it 
to be anything flammable.

If you make one out of plastic I'd be cautious about using any flammable 
solvent. Plastic will melt quickly in a fire and then you've got a big problem 
on your hands.

I've been thinking of making one using an old stainless darkroom sink when
I get around to rebuilding an aircraft engine. A 5 gallon can of solvent
(mineral spirits, paint thinner, etc.) and pump and a filter of some kind
and some hose.
I was buying parts cleaner solvent in a 5 gallon can from Tractor Supply,
but I can't find it on their website now.  I use it with a siphon sprayer
and air hose to wash down the Cessna engine and belly each year.

Re: [MBZ] Parts Runner for Jaime?

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

With a generous handful of annoying issues:

*Original Car radio does not work and sometimes the window switches will
not roll down the windows. SRS light is on. Center ac vent is stuck closed.
*
*These are Common W124 problems that are easily fixable if you have the
time.*
* Interior is near perfect! *

Re: [MBZ] Parts

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

The W124 clutches don't typically leak out like the later W140 ones. The 
bimetallic spring gets ‘tired” and fails to engage at the proper temperature, 
if at all.  You can bend the bracket the holds the spring to change the point 
of engagement, but after a while even that won’t get it to work.  Someone has 
bent the crap out of the bracket on mine, so I’m not even going to consider 
reusing it - I want to install a new one.

And mine doesn’t appear to engage at all, which is really noticeable at idle in 
traffic on a hot day.

I recently bought from Importec because they HAD m116 rubber, from FCP 
because they didn't want to rob me as bad for exhaust gaskets and some 
rubber they had, and then AutohausAZ because they had ATE brake hoses 
and a better price.  There IS no one stop shop like we had with Q.


Crockauto gets most of my business, but they had none of this stuff.

The Self Leveling Suspension is generally unique to the wagon.

* I like the wagons, and like the SLS.  

* I have a few wagons, none with good engines.  One just worn out. 

* I had SLS pump trouble on one of the wagons and gather parts and
  got new seals and managed to get one non-leaking pump.  But it's
  not really in good shape.

* Every wagon _I_ have looked at has an abused SLS system.  The
  best have had old, cruddy oil.  The worst are dry so the pump
  runs without lube!

* I have a few sedans with viable engines - but no SLS pump drive

* To retain SLS, I need to put a SLS head on.  Or machine the
  sedan head.  Or figure out a way to use some other pump, maybe
  electric.  Or buy a "new" pump for about the same - or more -
  than a parts car.

* Therefore, I would like to improve my wagon situation and so am
  on the lookout for good cars, parts cars, or engines.

I told the seller that if he got a Florida title that I would come and
check out the car with intent to make an offer, but without the FL title, I
was going to pass.  All I can do about it as I don't want to eat a bowl of
"should have had a Florida title" BS...  I really don't "need" a parts car,

If anyone has a parts wagon in their area that is worth looking at, let me

I would, but I am not "THAT" interested.  If it also had a blue interior I
may have tried a little harder  I don't need a parts car yet.  The
wagon formerly known as "Andrew's" is running better than ever and every
little thing I do makes it that much more AWESOME!  Even my wife is loving
the wagon

Exactly Randy!!!  I am not the kind of guy to screw up my sweet life, which
happens to be really awesome right now, with the possibility of "pretend"
that is actually fraud hahaha!

Re: [MBZ] Parts car for Kyle!

[Kyle Arola via Mercedes]

I told the seller that if he got a Florida title that I would come and
check out the car with intent to make an offer, but without the FL title, I
was going to pass.  All I can do about it as I don't want to eat a bowl of
"should have had a Florida title" BS...  I really don't "need" a parts car,
yet, but am just planning for the future when they are even more scarce.

If anyone has a parts wagon in their area that is worth looking at, let me
know.  Diamond blue, with Blue interior preferred, but not necessarily
required.  IF it is awesome enough, I certainly would have it shipped to
me.  Clear title a must! hahaha!

Essentially that is the drill here in WA, or was when I procured the

The registered letter was returned
No-Such-Person-Here-No-Forwarding-Address.
The unopened letter was all I needed to get the car titled in my name,

Re: [MBZ] Parts car for Kyle!

[MG via Mercedes]

Make sure you get it all notarized. Even with that I would still 
have him get a title and then transfer it to you. I think there 
is a penalty to be paid because it wasn't titled in Fl right 
away. Offer him $500 as is with the title the way it is or $2000 
with a good Fl title.

Re: [MBZ] Parts car for Kyle!

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

Did they write in the current owners name in the title as the buyer to transfer 
it to? If so he needs to get the title in his name. If the person is named on 
the title now just signed it and the buyers space is blank, then all you have 
to do is put your name in as the buyer.

get him to spend the bucks tomorrow to get the title in his name.  Then

If you "skip a generation" then you have to be sure the title does not
have his name as the buyer and does have the seller signed off.  then
with the bill of sale, you might be ok, unless you need to show a bill
of sale for tax purposes, in which case the bill of sale seller needs to

I had a similar issue with my 1962 300SE that came out of California.  And all 
I can say is that if you haven’t ever dealt with the CA DMV, you’re a very, 
very lucky person.

I walked into the Florida tax collector’s office with a bill of sale and a 
letter from the attorney who probated the estate the car came out of stating 
that the car was a part of an estate they had power of attorney for the owner 
and that they were conveying ownership to me.  The folks in FL couldn’t have 
cared less.  No CA title - no title in Florida.  Went back to the attorney who 
told me “tough beans” and ultimately the State of CA.  Essentially they said 
that the only way I would get a clear title was to pay the 5-6 years worth of 
non-operation fees and penalties (in person!) That was about $1800 at the time. 
 Yeah.

I ended up paying about $500 to a company in Alabama that washed the title and 
sent me a clean AL title in my name.  Walked into the FL tax collectors office 
the next week and walked out with a FL title and registration.

Yeah, this has all sorts of butthurt all over it.  Florida isn’t going to let 
him off the hook on this because they want their pound of flesh.  You can do 
“pass through” titles in Florida but only by dealers that I know of.  Otherwise 
you’ve got to title and register the car within the statutory time frame (30 
days?) or the owner has to pay big penalties.

I don’t see how this guy thinks he’s going to unload the car without a valid 
Florida title.  Florida is a lot like CA in the way that it gets its claws into 
the transaction whether you like it or not.

In some states if theres a significant delay between when the title was signed 
and when the sale went through you might be charged a fee. I had to pay an 
extra $50 on the Jetta because the previous owner had signed and dated the 
title when they donated it...

Re: [MBZ] Parts car for Kyle!

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

You need to tell him he has to do it or he can't even sell it for 
scrap.  The junkyards need a clean title in the current owner's name.

I will call the DMV this afternoon. There is a Carolina title, just still
in the previous owners name, but signed over and ready to go. If it looks
bad at all I am going to pass. Thanks Dan!

Curley, I will email him back and ask if he will do that but if he didn't
do it in the past 2 years, no reason to expect him to get off his rump and
do it now...

get him to spend the bucks tomorrow to get the title in his name.  Then 
he can sell it.Then you can buy it.   Maybe even offer to pay the 
title fee for him as part of the sale.


If you "skip a generation" then you have to be sure the title does not 
have his name as the buyer and does have the seller signed off.  then 
with the bill of sale, you might be ok, unless you need to show a bill 
of sale for tax purposes, in which case the bill of sale seller needs to 
match the title seller.

Re: [MBZ] Parts car for Kyle!

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I’m not sure what Florida will do if there is no title.  If the car was exempt 
from a title in the Carolinas it might not matter.  What’s going to happen is 
that Florida is going to look up the VIN and see where it’s from and who’s 
shown as the owner.  If that doesn’t match what you have you’re going to have 
trouble.

The alternative is to have the title “washed” by one of the title services you 
see listed in Hemmings and other places that deal in classic and vintage cars. 
It will probably cost you a good $1000 to do.

If you have the time you might want to call the tax collector’s office in your 
county and talk to someone about it.  If you go into the tax collector cold 
you’re liable to come out without a title and be very unhappy.

Dan - been there, done that in Florida

UPDATE:

Current owner has no problem providing me with a bill of sale with his data
on it.  I feel moderately better about this now.  Meeting on for Saturday
morning if the wagon doesn't sell before that.  I cannot imagine that it
will but you never know...

Re: [MBZ] Parts car for Kyle!

[Kyle Arola via Mercedes]

The problem is the current "owner" has the title, in the previous owners
name.  Never transferred to his ownership in Florida.  He is telling me
that I just "pretend" that I just purchased the car from the Carolina
dude.  I don't know if the Carolina (north or south I do not know) title
has a date on it or not, I just hate when people do things like this
half-assed.  I replied to Jerry that I would expect a bill of sale from him
regardless of the state of the title.  I do not want to drive home with a
"stolen" car on my trailer

Re: [MBZ] Parts car for Kyle!

[Meade Dillon via Mercedes]

When I bought my 124 cabriolet, it had been abandoned at a garage and the
tow truck guy (a retired cop) went through the hassle of getting a new
title issued.  Here in SC the deal is the new "owner" sends a registered
letter to the last registered owner's address, I think the letter basically
says that if the registered owner doesn't respond in 90 days or some time
period, the state will cancel the old title and issue a new title to the
new owner.  Once the 90 days are up with no response to the state, new
owner can get a new title issued.

Check with your local sheriffs office or municipal police, they may even
have the info online.

Re: [MBZ] Parts car for Kyle!

[Kyle Arola via Mercedes]

I am emailing with Jerry, the "almost" owner.  Found out the title is in
the previous owners name from the Carolina's  From a "couple" of years
ago.  I am pretty sure if the original title was filled out correctly then
Jerry has to go to the DMV to get his title before he can sign it over to
me.  But I may be wrong and perhaps a bill of sale will suffice?  Anyone
know that for Florida?

I will see where this ends up but I am not happy about the title thing.  I
certainly don't "need" a parts car yet, but I do wonder how many are really
left around anymore?  How long until we can't find a parts car at all?

In those cases you drive it and maintain it until such time as it does become a

True it is in the middle ground.

I am contacting them this morning to have a chat about the wagon and maybe
have a look on Saturday morning.

Probably more than a parts car, though it is starting to rust a bit.  I'll

If it was low in back, and the SLS was indeed working and adjusted
properly, then IT WAS SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE SPRINGS!  The stock springs
are deliberately slightly undersized, and the SLS makes up the difference.
If the springs got weak the SLS would just have to work a bit harder, and
would ultimately be unable to carry full rated load.  But up 'til that
point, zero difference to ride and handling.  That's how that system works.

Re: [MBZ] Parts story

[Fred Moir via Mercedes]

Folks.

My wife's then driver, Volvo V40, broke a spring going over a road construction 
zone pothole.

I replaced it with a lez-jokers spring and it too broke 4 days later. In both 
instances the broken spring eviscerated the tyre.

My local repair shop replaced both sides with factory springs, no problems.

For me, factory springs only.

Weird.

I bought new rear springs for the S500 coupe as it was low in the back and the 
SLS was working and adjusted properly.  Lesjofor sent me a pair of springs that 
were supposed to be the correct ones for the car.  The coil ends were too small 
in diameter.  I took pictures of the originals and the ones they sent me, as 
they pretty much suggested that I was nuts when I told them what I found.

When they got the pictures they agreed to take them back at their expense.  I 
asked for the correct springs and they were adamant that the ones they sent me 
were the right ones.

So I said the heck with it and moved on.

My first MB spring experience with the compressor and I was amazed at how easy 
it was.  A little frightening with a compressed spring sitting there on the 
garage floor, but a real piece of cake to R with the compressor.

Re: [MBZ] Parts story

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

I bought a no-name compressor for $99, copy of the Klann, installed a pair of
Lesjofors (spelling?) S320 springs with the thickest spring shims, and could
practically watch the car sink to its previous level. Having wasted $250 to be
right where I was with the original broken springs, I threw my hands up in
disgust. Some day I'll either try the S500 Lesjofors with thin shims or order
starmarked from the dealer. Either the eBay sellers of Lesjofors are selling
fake unheat-treated Chinese crap, (my seller of course denied that possibility)
or this alleged OEM makes the worst coil springs I've seen in my life. 

The car was sitting visibly high, but not badly so, when I put it on the ground.
The next morning, it was perfectly level, the springs having lost tension
overnight. When I finished resetting the transmission computer, I drove it down
to the corner and back to test drive the trans, and in that mile it had dropped
another couple of inches. Within a week it was sitting every bit as low as it
was before I replaced the two broken front springs. 

The instructions with the springs said 'do not compress to coil-bind', but
that's exactly what I had to do to cram the springs into the car with the thick
shims on them. How could compressing to within 1/2" of binding be OK and binding
the springs totally ruin them? They aren't the first springs I've entirely
compressed, but they're the first springs (including JC Whitney specials) that
have ever failed on me.
