W202 - tell me why i shouldn't
ok, operating on the "buy the best vehicle out there" theory, have a chance to buy 95 c280 for $1500 , 100k miles, very good condition.
however. seems like a smaller version of w140, with all the attendant over-engineered issues soon to come? i will find out about wiring harness, ac, trans issues today. any other issues to explore/ beware of? or should i run:eek:, not walk, very fast? |

My 94 C280 has the same mileage as the one you are considering it. Once I got it sorted out it has been reliable. I enjoy driving it and it still feels very solid. My wife's W210 wagon feels like a whale by comparison. If you can verify that the car was well maintained and there aren't any glaring issues I think you'd be doing quite well at $1500. If you can DIY things like oil changes, spark plugs, brakes, etc then you'll have an easy time owning the car. |

excuse my ignorance (if u dare ) and clue me in on lower control arm thing. this would be steering, i assume (hey - there are no dumb questions, no?) (btw-my lady love is from toronto. and my rock and roll music friend has a place there too. maybe you are los angeles' sister city?:D) oh, and on head gasket, am i to invest in? some sort of somewhat arcane test i heard about involving radiator? or just check exhaust and oil filler cap and pray? ok . many questions. |
