I am here today because I was at the auction previewing cars for Thursday’s sale and ran across a 14 E250 diesel 4matic. It has a really good Carfax with a lot of service history on it. It is a 2 Owner car and it has 126k miles.. It is heavily Optioned. Keyless go, Panoramic roof, Harman Cardin, sport package, looks like designo package, Ventilated seats, Can you get the picture.

Started and ran terrific! a little bit of vibration through the steering wheel and the seat. Seems like motor mounts would be first on the list. CEL is on but I forgot my scanner at the office. I am going back out there with it tomorrow To pull the codes. The beauty cover on the engine and the belly pan underneath were in the trunk. Even the heat shield from the hood padding was in the trunk. which I thought was odd. It looks as if someone has been digging around trying to figure something out. It was a trade in at the Hyundai dealership believe it or not. They put it on their lot for sale for $15200.. The only other thing I noticed that really scared me was the belly pan was pretty saturated with oil. I’ve got to crawl around under the car tomorrow when I have more time. I figured the dealership decided to bring it to Auction after the CEL popped up or they were chasing an oil leak.

I bought a 2005 CDI from the same Hyundai dealer the week before and sold it in just a few days for double my money. But I understand those are the last of the great breed. If you don’t mind me asking what do you guys know about these 2.1 four-cylinder diesel’s? And what should I be on the lookout for? Of course I can provide more information tomorrow when I have some codes in hand. Thanks in advance Joe
