Re: [MBZ] Oldest Son's New Car

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

I did a “reverse” in a FB buy/sell forum that’s for a very upscale/old rich 
white people area nearby that I belong to. Asked if anyone had something to 
sell relative to my needs for a vehicle and got a hit:

2013 Escape SE AWD. It’s tarted up pretty well, fresh tires, a six cylinder 
with AWD and 105k on the clock. It’s also the first model of a new (3rd) 
generation of Escapes, which is a little concerning as is the six cylinder with 
AWD. I suspect that takes a bit away from fuel economy and adds a level of 
complexity that a 2012 doesn’t have.

The guy offering it is a Nissan line technician at the local Nissan dealer, the 
car belongs to his sister in law who is selling because her fiancé got a 
company car and gave her his BMW. He maintained the car for as long as she had 
it, says the only things he had to do with it were a rear ABS sensor and a fuel 
pressure sensor. Otherwise, just straight maintenance.

He’s got it at his place and has a lift if I want to come over and look at it. 
She wants $6500 but he said she would jump on $6k.

Have at it, Mitch! I suspect this one is going to be ugly.

Re: [MBZ] How to get off way over tight lug bolts

I tried that on the SL. Made a little dam from duct tape and squirted 
some in there, left a little puddle hoping it would work in there.  
Didn't.  Finally drilled it out.

OK, I looked closer - that was over 10 years, so more like $720/year.

Re: [MBZ] Fakebook

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

It’s interesting, as I was talking to one of my neighbors last night. He was 
looking for a truck a month or so ago, and he said that he gave up because 
there was nothing whatsoever in the private market anywhere he looked. He was 
convinced it was due to all the current issues with COVID/shelter in place/job 
losses, etc.

While I figured that might be playing a part, I didn’t think it would have that 
much of an effect.

Re: [MBZ] 560SEL $2200

Headlight wipers are in the correct position. That’s an indicator I use to 
identify proper maintenance. Not definitive, but usually means someone is 
taking care of the car. If the headlight wipers are all wacky that’s not a good 
sign.

Re: [MBZ] Oldest Son's New Car was W211 Nanny Mania

Got a line on what might be a decent prospect for the eldest:

https://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/cto/d/lithia-2012-ford-escape-xlt-v6/7148700936.html
 


My only real concern is that it’s a six cylinder rather than the four. Mileage 
won’t be as good. On the good side, it’s priced well and has a good history. 
Leased vehicle for five years, then the current owner bought it and their 
daughter drove it in high school. That and it’s the last year of the second 
generation, and has some of the lowest reports of problems as a result.

Even better, it’s only about five miles from my house.

which was apparently due to the car having been flooded downtown right before 
he bought it from some girl. (He saw it in the flood so that was a known 
quantity, $2250 which I thought was high, black/black, looked pretty nice, he 
had dried it out so it ran OK). Shonuff the seat control modules and Hall 
sensors on motors were fried. It had about 100 other historic codes which I 
cleared out. 

These things are SMALL, lack appeal to me.

Quite true. However, SLK320s aren’t that expensive. You can find really nice 
ones in good condition and solid provenance for $5k and below.

New cars are also for the most part very reliable.

If not abused, most any "mass market" car from Ford, Chevy, Japan, Korea
will go well over 100K miles with only minor if any issues.

What about a Ford Fusion? They have a 3.5l V6 option, seem to be about
in your price range if you're looking at something in the neighborhood

Exactly. Makes it nice to check and set timing as needed. When I had my 350SD I 
used on and found that due to age and wear the pump was off a couple of 
degrees. With this I spent more time tightening and loosening fasteners than I 
did using the tool.

One of those tools that when you need it, it really makes a difference.

Re: [MBZ] Oldest Son's New Car was W211 Nanny Mania

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

So we went and checked out the 2012 Escape with 137k, two owners, V6, etc.

Very clean car, well maintained, clearly a Ford lease before the current owner 
purchased it for his high school aged daughter who put approximately 3,000 
miles on it driving to/from home, school and work.

It’s been maintained by a local indie shop I know that caters to a well to do 
clientele with a mix of nice domestic and high line cars. I’ll check in with 
them tomorrow if they’re open and get the dirt on this car. Owner had all his 
records so I pretty much saw everything he had done to it, all by the book and 
then some. He has detailed records on it showing it’s averaged around 25 mpg, 
which is pretty good with the six and considering daughter’s driving was all 
suburban surface streets at or below 45 mph.

They had the sucky Ford telematics yanked and a nice double-DIN Pioneer unit 
installed professionally to the point where all of the steering wheel buttons 
work with it. It’s nicely done.

It’s got a couple dings and a few stains in the carpet, but nothing a good 
Martha’ing can’t resolve.

The guy bought the car for his daughter and clearly cared for it in a manner 
you expect.

I’m going to call him in the morning and pull the trigger on it. I think it 
will suit the son just fine, he fits in it well and liked it.

Looks like Ford and Mazda parted ways before the 2013 redesign. Nothing shared 
between either platform.

Re: [MBZ] Turd or treasure?

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Turd. These have minimal value when running. Too bad, as I’ve bene looking for 
a yellow SLK320 for the wife for some time. I’ve considered a 230 but it would 
have to be a nice one with a good history.

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

Add one rusty E320 and you have a SLK320 at a nice price.
But it probably needs top hydraulics and a bunch of other stuff.
