Are you suggesting that he get a code reader, and be able to diagnose and repair the electric and computer based faults that might sho up?

If so, don't you think a 1992-1995 E500/500E that was in mint condition (perhaps preowned by an internet forum such as 500Ectasy, would make a better choice for a shopper like that, with that budget?
