Unless you buy this car for a hobby project, have the time and money...it's not a good deal in my opinion.... if you're expecting to buy it for 5~7 hundred, if that, you are going to be spending more money to get it running. Even if it's free....you are going to spend more money....people don't sell a car that is running and headache free! Private sellers... sell their cars....90% of the time in my opinion because they are tired of spending money to fix this or that...If you already have a similar car, then yes, buying this car for parts would be worth it. But again, if you are buying it to fix up and drive....it's a money pit. Bottomless. You need to get it for a very good price.
There is no such thing as a cheap MB.
