Fix it or part it?
I have a 1993 190E 2.6. Presently it has the following issues:
1. Automatice Transmittion - Reverse gear is bad. Will not back up on a slope and barely on flat surface. Forward gears are ok.
2. Engine - suspect timing has jumped. Gets gas and spark. Will not fire up.
3. Heater Core - needs to be replaced. Lot of work to remove dashboard.
She is gray, has a hit on the driver side fender. Has new tires and struts / shocks. Drives great.
What should I do, repair it or let her go? It may cost upwards of over $2000 to fix, but when fixed she may be worth it.
