Thanks for the information. I ran a car fax report and learned the mileage was correct but it failed two NYC emissions inspections, one in ’98 and the other in ’99. It looks like it was corrected in ’99 at 107,000 miles, which would be about 23k miles ago. After I posted this I got the name of a mechanic who works at an MB dealership and he was good enough to run a full report on the VIN. I’m going to meet with him tonight and go over it. I’m suppose to pick up the car this Saturday but before I do, I’ve arranged for Lemon Busters (anyone use these folks?) to do a full systems check. If it passes with minimum problems, I’ll buy it.


Thanks again.
