You can get a nice '98-99 E300D for that price...  Looked under the hood 
of one yesterday, and it looked *really* easy to work on.

SMART accessories includes a length of heavy chain link fixed to a 3' iron
stake.  You attach the chain to the front bumper of the SMART and pound the
stake deeply into the ground to prevent someone from carrying away your
SMART while you're shopping.
