you can never copy car photos with chosen wheels from the tire rack, it will automatically reset itself.

That looks good!
Anyways Guys, what do you think about this car? I've been discussing the specifics with the owner.
http://sandiego.craigslist.org/car/200627195.html
Recent service that has been done includes:
Transmission
alternator
all hoses
waterpump and thermostat
drive belt
a/c compressor
new ignition/ wires/ bosch +4 plugs
egr/ o2 sensor
all emission solenoids
sunroof motor
brakes/rotors
60 month battery
air flow meter
head gasket.
You could eat off the motor, detailed and does not leak.
Interior is in decent shape, leather, car was Starmarked by Merceds-Benz at last purchase.
All books and records from new, always oil changes on time.
Car has 170k on it.
What do you think?
Or I can go with a bone stock 1993 Mercedes-Benz 300E with 74,000K Miles going for $7500. I'm sure I can talk down the price as always. It's black and looks really clean.
and I found a few 400E's in good condition but the exterior is so so. Not the best but bareable. Let me know what you guys think!

Take the one for $4700. The other one is too new and probably hasn't had any of the major repairs done yet. That means you'll be doing the head gasket, wiring harness, etc. If it had 30,000 miles that might be different.
The other one ($4700) is worth probably $5,500 - $6,000. Definitely get that one.
By the way, can I get one of your visor clips from you, since you do't really need them anymore?

yeah. I'll swing the visor clips your way. I'll remove them later when it's not too hot LOL.
and by the way ... forget about all those cars I posted. I found a 1994 E320 Coupe with a AMG GenI kit. FTW!!!!

I'm kind of iffy about the one in San Diego - mainly because of the mileage. It looks like a good car though and I think the seller wants to get rid of it before Tuesday ... Which isn't enough time for me. Waiting for his email back.
Or ... I could jump into a 400E, E420 but I'm kind of scared to know what the maintanence is like. Does anyone know?
Also Matt, I'll be shipping them out in the next hour via USPS Priority.

What does everyone else think about the mileage? I'll have to see - I'm going to look into it some more and check it out once he gets back to me.
Someone tell me what to expect from a 400E or a E420!
and I know I'm badass.

I guess that my point is, these cars will last as long as you want them to. We are lucky enough to live in parts of the country where we don't have to drive around in salt water all winter long. Up north, a car will only last as long as it doesn't rust.
