Crack. $4,400 would be a nice price, $44,000 is delusional, unless this was H.R. Clinton's car and it comes with her email server in the trunk, and you have Trey Gowdy's phone number handy. - Max Charleston SC On Tue, Apr 28, 2015 at 9:44 AM, Rich Thomas via Mercedes

Well a lot of times it will do it immediately when trying to start it with no previous cranking. Hit the key a few times and it will go. It's like the engine rotates to a certain point and can't overcome. And if you kit the key a few times it will finally overcome that spot and crank further,

The starter was over heating from all the cranking - they are not built to do that. You should limit the cranking to perhaps 30 seconds with 10 - 30 minutes between tries. Of course, you will never get it started this way - - - - On Tue, Apr 28, 2015 at 6:27 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes
