ill have to admit through all the headaches and turmoil of the last 3 months it all paid off indeed. sure,ive had complaints with many aspects of mb nashvilles' practices. but for so far as the young man who worked on my car,he did an outstanding job. ill take my 86 over the 2007 c280 anyday. theres not a thing wrong with ANY mb in my opinion,but,,,man,youd just have to drive it to understand.....my only engine related "complaints" is a small hole in my exhaust that i believe to be at the joint where thae catalytic converter is and twice ive had to remove the OVP and put it back in and i believe it rattles loose. other than those thing,not one hint of a problem......the mechanic gave me a list of specs/0-60 times for most if not all mbs'. according to that list 9.9 is my 0-60.i think it abit lower than that,could be wrong,either way. doesnt matter. i love it. someone apparently abandoned a 190 2.6 at one of the local coffeehouses its pretty rough,but things like the wheels are in great shape,console trim stuff like that.im going to try and grab it up but,my wife seemed a little dismayed at the thought...................hhhhhmmmmmm.
