got another call yesterday. said i have to have a new fuel distributor,injectors and a/c compressor........$3,500 more.............................anyone looking to buy a $20,ooo 190e ?
this is me =
.......................i dont really understand where the inspection previous came into play. i asked them to do diagnostics and/or find out whats wrong with it .....i THOUGHT i would first get that summation and be able to delegate from there what/which direction i should go.......guess i couldve asked that long ago HA-HA ! of course nobody would PLAN to do this.theres a 68{420 I THINK?,,HECKFLOSSE} that still runs here on C.L. I WOULD MUCH RATHER HAVE SPENT 20K ON. im in a spot though. how this all began was me being without a car,wife sees a "good deal" and says that for my birthday shell grab it. sounded great. that night on the way home it drove great,,,,but slowly over the course of 2-3 weeks,all sorts of weirdness took place.broke down a time or two.a/c didnt work,wife has seizures so we have to have a/c...getting it titled almost had to involve a lawyer because the guy i bought it from screwed up the title then come to find out it wasnt his to sell,it was his mothers.so i had to pull teeth and drive four hours and 300 miles to get her just to sign an affidavitt...... ive never been one to treat any car without appreciation,so im confident i drove it properly or at least respectfully.since i live in the country,its hard to get out to look for/bid on contracts without a car.by the time things began to get time sensitive{i.e. bored as hell sittin around an bills gotta get paid,good thing i dont drink!} i was already $5,000 into it and that was before any real repairs had been done.took it to M.B. as a last resort thinking that to be the fastest most effective way to deal with it. theyve had it for 2 weeks now and will have it for the better part at least for this coming week.ive decided to rent another car.i gotta make some money and sittin here aint gonna do it .. so i rented a ford focus.oh,ive got full coverage insur. from USAA with rental reimbursement,,,,yet,that only covers it if youre in a wreck.... HA-HA go figure !
