PPI-What to look for

Have been reading alot here for about a week because I'm looking at a 2002 C32. 85k miles, short money. Looks excellent, drives great. My Porsche mechanic has some experience with MB and wants to check it out for me. I don't think he can do a glycol test.

What should I make sure he looks for? I must admit the rad/trans threads have me a little nervous. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Inspection/purchase is scheduled for Thursday am.

Thanks!

check to see if the seat control modules have the battery drain while its off. usually the seat control modules go bad on all c-classes except the 05+

Thanks for the heads up. I wasn't aware of this issue. How would one detect this condition? I'm guessing with a meter.

Thanks!
