NEW 99 c230 owner Here: DIY Help Repairs needed!
I picked up my 99 c230 Sport w/ 40k miles two weeks ago for $5000... It does have a salvage title however... The body is fine, and engine / tranny seems to run fine... However there are alot of little things wrong with the car and i'd like to attempt to fix them...
1) Passenger seat belt tensioner broke (does not take up slack)
2) horn broken,
3) abs does not activate
4) glove box latch broken
5) radio doesn't turn on
6) heater fan motor bearing noise <--- i ordered the fan motor
7) heater fan doesnt shut off even when controls off <--- i ordered the heater resistor
8) sunroof doesn't operate (motor works) <--- i noticed that the sunroof cables aren't there
9) side mirror controls broken
I am trying to research part numbers however it seems that only the dealers have access to this info.... also what is a good reference manuals on cd / dvd that has MB part numbers and blow ups?
THank you!

Looks like by the time you are done with this project you will a dollar amount in the car equal or more than if you purchased a good one with a clear title and you will still have a salvage title car. My advise to you is to sell it if you can and buy a good one.
