What do you want out of this car ... something turn key and go or something you know you'll have some issues with because it's heavily modded?

from what i can tell its a base no mods - turn key and go. its between this and a g class. i know there is a big difference between the two but i wont go back to a c class and not really feeling the s or the ml.

also something to turn and go not looking to mod it much.

Get a PPI! A VMI would also be helpful. IIRC deadbolt failure was a potential issue.

thanks for the feedback, it seems the head bolts are quite a problem but can be a hit or miss. I will most certainly have the vehicle inspected before purchase.
