So I travel 100 Km to find that the car is a rust boll. I dint took too many pictures but the car looks like a Suisse cheese. As I was advised in the forum I asked if it needs oil. The answer was: just every 1000 to 2000 Km. The man had a 5L can of oil in the trunk

Somebody else was talking about - Portugal Mercedes - here..... Use the "search" feature and you will find the posts.

Gallon of oil in trunk and one litre oil per tank of fuel is NOT strange for typical older healthy diesel......... MB engine is LAST thing you need to worry about - but can agree the body is Suisse Cheese according to your pic...... Did you drive the car and what else did you find?

Am thinking you are smart to check unregistered cars for sale....... Talk with anybody who drives/owns these cars and you can walk away with bargain..... It's often cars not advertised that are the best to buy.
