MD inspection is brutal. It costs $75.00, takes a full hour incouding a road test and NOBODY passes the first time around - even new cars. There is no point in buying a used car here unless the owner agrees to take it through and PASS inspection. On Mon, Dec 22, 2014 at 12:35 PM, Curly McLain

OTOH, paying for a MD inpection is a pretty good deal as a pre-purchase inspection prior to buying a used car from an individual (doesn't have to be from MD either). On Mon, Dec 22, 2014 at 3:30 PM, Curly McLain via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com wrote: Why wouldn't a new car pass? What could

So what? $500 and a engine from a $500 rustbucket and you have a nice car for cheap. Aside from that, it sounds more like a $5 pushbutton starter switch bypassing the lockout and or the ign switch would cure it.Nothing i read indicates the engine is worn out, but it could be. Whatcha
