Yes, soapy water would also work. I need to test the valves on this car, make
sure that is not an issue that was maker masked while I had the gauge set
attached.

Some are. I have replacement valve cores for my former W140s. I had bought a
couple low side cores as a precaution when I found one leaking. They might have
stopped doing it on later models. Either that or the whole fitting can be
serviced as a part, I’ve got a couple of those, too.

True, but in the case of my car search of late what I don’t understand is how
many dealers I see selling on it as opposed to private sellers.
It’s weird, the ratio for the cars I’ve searched on is about 10 to 1 in favor
of dealers. And a bunch of the listings that appear to be private sellers

I would think so. That was on my Ford Ranger. I don't think the valve cores are
replaceable on Mercedes.

Those lines are soft copper, you can put an easy bend in them once they are
through the wall. It actually helps to drill your outside hole lower than the
inside hole a bit, maybe an inch or so, so you can start the bend as you feed
the connector through the wall.

Sounds like when I list something in the local Marketplace and it flags the ad
for something “bad” in one of the two groups I post in. I’ve yet to figure what
it is that keeps it from one group and not the other. You appeal or ask for a
review it it never seems to happen.
Good luck.

I do too, but the more information you have, the better choices you can make.
Obviously a car with squeaks and rattles may get more complaints, but when you
have major issues (e.g. GM 3.4 intake gasket failures, Honda

first gens better than second gens?

Which platform, 2008 Escape or 2009+ Escape?
My neighbors just gave away their 2008 LTD (leather) for rust issues,
I don’t have an issue with an auction car if I had access to the auction. I
don’t, nor do I know anyone who does, unfortunately.
Surprisingly, the few private sellers I’m seeing are pricing their cars pretty

I would still recommend a GM product such as a equinox or maybe an older trail

I know you are not a fan of hybrids but you might consider the Escape hybrid. A
