Hello Everyone,

I'm new to this site and to MB cars. I've always had Volvo's but want to add a Mercedes to the fleet. My brother has a ' 92 400 E that we've had for over a year. It has been great and only has 60 K miles. Now I want one for myself and have found another ' 92 locally.

The one that I found has 190 K miles and has been kept up well. Known problems are:

-a/c doesn't work
-needs tires
-possibly needs a timing chain
-exhaust is getting a little loud

I know that these cars also had problems with the engine wiring harness. The owner wants $5000 for the car. I'm seriously considering it. Any suggestions? How long do these V8's last?

Thanks,
Dave
