I worked a deal over the phone with this guy, $450, I'll take a trailer and load it up then we can sort out the title issue I guess.  The fix might be easy and relative cheap, or maybe more expensive.  I guess I could do some parts swapping from the 99 onto this one, see if I can get it sorted

Youngest son is getting closer to reality. He now wants to find a facelift S210 4Matic wagon. There’s one in town for sale right now, but I have concerns as it came fro NY and PA in 2016, which means it just about got to have rust on it somewhere. However, in the ad it looks pretty clean:

I have routinely solved the "exposed female fitting" issue by making a plug from a male air fitting with an end cap teflon taped and screwed on. I cross drill the screw on plug to accept a small cable which is then attached to the female fitting via a loop, so the plug stays and doesn't get lost.
