OK I’ve had a bunch of old Mercedes over the years . They were mostly W123’s in W124s. I drive a 1995 E300 diesel that I have for sale now. I’m pretty sure I have a buyer coming this afternoon but that’s another story

My situation right now is my boss Picked up a 2008 e550 one owner from his next-door neighbor for $1500.. The next-door neighbor explain to him that it needed new air shocks in the front. He had replaced the rear ones about six months ago. The car is in unbelievable condition physically cosmetically ETC. It is triple black and has what looks to be most options. Panorama sunroof heated and cooled seats rear sunshades Nav So on and so forth. My boss is
asking me to help him with this car on fixing it up or sell like it is.

I jumped in the car today and got to drive it for an hour........Holy **** where have I been!?:p This car is phenomenal! The front shocks air up within a couple of minutes of starting the car. The key does not lock the car I forgot to check the switch. You can’t get in the trunk. And the panorama roof does not work nor do the power shades so they are open and it has a triple black car in Georgia. The threshold of hell is not hot enough.

My question is should I buy this car for myself? I know it needs a motor mount I can feel That and I can probably address the front shocks myself. I’m wanting to take a wild guess and just say the battery is probably dead in the key fob. I want to offer my boss $2500. I think he will take it. Do y’all think that sounds like a fair deal?

Thx joe
