Update:
I changed my mind last week and called the seller up to purchase the car. Everything was fine until his pig of a wife entered the picture. When she found out what he was selling it for, she berated her husband in front of me (using all kinds of 4 letter words) then told me, "There's no F&#ing way we're selling it for less than $3,000.:
Of course, I ran away from this one, thinking how nice it is to be single.
Well, the seller contacted me on Sunday, saying that his wife came around and is willing to sell the car at our agreed price. I didn't notice the email until this morning, and am thinking about how I should proceed.
I have one car I'm planning to look at this weekend in KC: a lovely, well kept, and reasonably priced '95 E320 wagon... Perhaps if things are not as good as they seem there, I will snatch up this 420SEL...
The price is certainly right, but I feel like I'm taking quite a gamble. Perhaps a PPI will shed some light on the issues. Either way, a $1000+ timing chain expenditure will be immediate.
