Yeah It really is just abused and neglected but who knows maybe with some love it can come back, I got it running tonight sounds nice no knocks in the motor and trans shifts smooth, no oil in coolant or vice versa, needs exhaust, but who knows. Yeah I did get a sweet deal on my diesel I sold it to my uncle after high school cause I didn't know how to maintain it and it was expensive to do so. He had it for 3 years or so, recently I graduated college and said to him how I needed a fuel efficient and reliable car, he says "hey I still have the benz of yours you want?" He did a lot to the car and fixed it and I said ooohhh hell yeah. and the rest is history
