Folks, am thinkin y'all are suffering from "too low price syndrome" where everybody gits squeemish about picking up and driving home $300-$500 vehicle, dunno why.

Heck the most economical MB I've ever owned was $500 New Jersey 240D that finally rusted to smitherines more than 100k miles and 4yrs later, after hitting a deer too. Yet its still fully functional with excellent mechanicals even to this day.
