E320 Ignition problem
Im going to see a super clean e320 tomorrow. The seller states the only issue with the car is, it starts but will not turn off. I have never heard of such an issue before. So I don't know what to think of it. Ignition.... bad key........ Can someone please shed some light on whether this is a good buy or not. With Christmas around the corner I'm not looking to gamble on a expensive fix.

That behavior is possible with an CAN bus car like the E320. Have the car professionally inspected by an MB tech preferably at a dealer or maybe a well-known independent MB tech. Problem could either be expensive or a simple fix.

I won't be able to get a MB tech to the car or the car to one. I suggested to seller but he's not willing. Any idea what a simple fix or expensive fix might be?
