auction s430
bought a 2000 s430 at auction it is currently in limp mode has srs, abs, cel, and driver and sunroof motors inoperable, is this car even with it multiple codes set 167k miles nice paint and decent interior don't know where to start as this is my first Mercedes purchase and I feel it may be my last. previous owner/dealer had the air suspension taken out and the compressor is no longer there so that light is on too. don't want to sink a whole lot of money into this. some codes are p0748, 007, 102 103 120 and 136 think it may need a valve body to get it out of limp mode, anyways thanks in advance just looking for advice
