96E300d, located in Toms River, New Jersey. First the good, engine, transmission and interior in excellent condition, same with tires and rims. AC fully operational. Now, the bad, fuel gauge in cluster always reads full, SRS light on, and now a right front spring perch failure. Body has some rust, but no dents. 222,000 miles on the car, extensive repairs done to the car by prior owner at 196,000 to the tune of about $4000.00. Looking for $1200.00.

as a suggestion, you could just have the perch repaired. it's about $3k at the in-house body shop at my local mercedes dealer. can you buy a reliable replacement car for $3k? i doubt it. it's a small price to pay if it nets you a few more years of use out of this one.

That was one of the options I was considering. Called an in town body shop yesterday, and they gave me a ball park figure of $2000. I will give the nearest dealer a call and see what they come up with. Thanks for your suggestion. Best of luck.....
