Hi,

I am about to pick up my first ever MB next week. After losing an ebay auction, I found a woman in CT that purchased her car from a Mercedes Dealer/mechanic and he has done the following work on the car for her:

2005

A/C compressor
New Radio/CD and speakers
new back seat net (the "fish net" that carries "stuff" attached to the front seats)
New R/R window reg w/motor - not the window the motor that works it
brake rotors
rear brake pads
parking brake shoes and cable
shifter brushings
cylinder head - 2K for part only
prechambers
gasket set
head bolts
Thermastat to pass CT emissions test
front brake rotors
front brake pads

2004

2 steel lines
steel fuel line
new bolt in motor
serp belt
belly pan
belt shock
Left front blinker
shut off valve and seal
new starter
paint front and rear bumper

Recently, the car got scratched by someone backing up in a parking lot. The rest of the car looks to be in mint condition (the current owner is a high end realtor and has used this car to drive her clients to houses.) I am buying the car for $5000 and paying $1500 for repairs.

I was wondering
a) what people would suggest for the first things to do when I get this car home to maine
b) can I run b20 without modification in this car? what about b100?
c) did I get a good deal?

Thanks!
