devils advocate, i have one it sucks and it was free!

sucks

145K miles (odometers broken)
too low gear, at 80 your over 3500
no first gear start, feels like ur pushing it (has some stupid 1st gear kickdown engage, just dumb, shld start in 1st)
wasteful engine, fuel economy sucks andddddddd your not going very fast to justify it
engine oil consupmption, valve stem seals will prob need replaced
rear window leaks
cruise control doesnt work

you cant do burn outs due to the 2nd gear start
car feels to heavy in corners and sits too high results in scary feeling at high 80+ speeds
steering doesnt feel very tight
ancient becker radio is Piece of junk
small speakers up front suck (4.)
trunk lift springs rust and break
have to remove underbody aerodynamic pan to change oil

inconvenient oil filter location
leaking/non working headlight wipers (stupid) and washer bottle/pump fitting leaks
brake lines rust
exhaust rusts (the cheapestttttt walker muffler/silencer was 700$ and its not S/s)

drivers side door lock doesnt lock but will unlock
rear headrests stuck in UP position

glove box light doesnt come on unless keys in ignition

a/c needs updated to r134a and it still wont be super cold (500$)
prob needs fuel injectors
headlights suck
few competent mechanics to do engine work

PROS
big back seat, if your my age dates still end up in back seat, this is + (if its not raining, see leaky window above)
decent top speed, had it up to 127 so far (ur engine rpm will be in red tho)

good dash! nice to have OIL pressure/temp unlike new cars that give u tach+ speedo and thats it
no LSD , can squeal serious tire going around corners
can shift manually using gate shifter
girls cant figure out gate shifter + 1000 points
good availability of parts and aftermarket upgrades like lights
EZ to change brake pads, simple as pie
EZ to change spark plugs + leads


so basically i inherited my car, alot of stuffs broken and it costs a $$$ to fix anything, everything thats broken can be fixed, but NOTHINg is cheap, rear window seals from MB $300+ NOT including actually installing them!

you may find a less destitute car, and even w.broken stuff u can pull girls w benz

so pretty much my opinion is mixed
