Believe it or not, there’s not a W210 to be found around here right now. Not sure what that’s about, but they’re slim pickings for some reason. Might go look a this Buick Lucerne: https://sarasota.craigslist.org/cto/d/bradenton-2007-buick-lucerne-cxl-dads/7149308260.html

Maybe. I guess we will find out. I sure as hell did not want to have to deal with this right now. The plan was to keep it rented for another 3 years or so, then sell it. Take the equity from that and refi this house into a 10-15 hear note paying it down significantly and have a cheap payment

I woud consider putting him in a W210 sedan if I could find a decent one. I’m just so frazzled over this W211, a part of which is my own fault because of the miles (337k) that are now on it and that it was less than perfect when I got it. he won’t maintain or repair the car, he’ll just drive it

I would recommend a Crown Vic (older ones had an intake manifold coolant leak issue), Toyota Camry 2004-2006 four cylinder, Toyota Corolla 2003 or newer, Buick with 3800 V6. The GM 3.4 is junk. A Toyota Matrix, or Pontiac Vibe would work too, if he needs a hatchback or wagon. I never really

Note too the outdoor unit needs to sit off the wall a bit for proper circulation. The brackets I got for mine for some reason unclear are a bit short so the unit overhangs a bit. Not an issue really just kinda odd. --FT Sent from iPhone > On Jun 28, 2020, at 4:12 PM, Scott Ritchey via
