OK, I looked over the car, and made a deal on it. it's mine.

it's been rode hard and put away wet, but it ROARS with power. it's got tranny issues (shifts through all 4 gears in moments) but from a standstill, I can SMOKE the tires on dry pavement... wow. pulling from 15 or so in 4th it PUSHES me into the seat the entire time... zero smoke, instant start from a stone cold motor with 10 seconds on the glow. (it's only around 70 today... maybe 65ish...)
rear tires are nearly new, fronts are around 10K from needing replacement... brakes squeak when backing up when touched, but the rotors have no grooves or lip... nice.
last 200K no maintenance records, but first 300ish fully detailed, and it was bought from a mercedes service shop, I may be able to get the last 200K records from them.... the current owner claimed to put Rotella 15w40 every 5K while he's owned it... motor purred.... down pipe flex was open... gotta fix that... driver's seat missing a bolt.
I had a grin from ear to ear driving the car... $pricele$$!!
