I am looking at a 94 s350 with about 150k miles. The engine and trans was replaced per the records at 114K with a reman engine. I have been researching and have read some of the horror stories on thes 3.5s, but this one looks and drives really good and with the engine swap i wonder if i would be ok. I tracked down the prev owner and he stated a couple of small things he did while he had it, but nothing major. He did state that it used some oil and his MB mech friend said not to bother with trying to fix it since oil is cheaper than the possible work to fix. His MB mech friend told him that he thought one of the rings might not have seated correctly on the reman engine and that could be the cause, but unsure. He said usage was around 1 qt for 2weeks or so of heavy driving. The dealership that has it now wants $4,500 down from $5,990. Should I run from it or try to get it alot cheaper, etc? The oil consumption bothers me, but is a really nice car. I also have an 80 300CD that i love. If i get it cheap enough and the engine goes could i swap it with a different engine without a lot of mods... I really like the drive and feel of this car. Any thouhts would be appreciated and yes i am sort of a newbie to MB diesels!
