FYI, a rebuilt engine for that car is ~ $9,800. Not a good deal at all IMO.

If the car is CPO, why wouldn't he take it in to get the engine noise fixed before selling it thus getting more money while avoiding any suspicion?

It's probably out of the Starmark warranty by now.

It smacks of a typical blinged-up, poorly maintained Mercedes owned by someone who knows nothing of cars except name plates.

But, then again, at that price it may be worth having a listen to the "noise." Maybe it's just a tensioner pulley, and after $60 for a new pulley, you'd have a decent car.

It looks great, But I think the seller did not give a detailed describtion on the engine "noise". And he said he did not have the MB tech looked at them before he post it for sale. If it is me, I will see the car before I pay anything.

I bought the Lowenhart LDR's from that car. THE CAR IS A PIECE OF ****! The problem with the car is, either the timing chain is about to rip apart, or one of the valves melted and is ruined.
