Having been a Mercedes repair tech for 15 years, its an old story.... somebody buys a poorly maintained Benz and the previous owner(s) lack of maintenance catches up to it. Cue the tirade on how old Mercedes are junk.  Following the natural order of things you should now spend several thousand dollars on it and then sell it because "its too expensive". |
up to now I've made money on every mercedes I've owned... and I've had many. the wagon is my all tme favourite. too bad it runs such high rpm's.
the 250td I got in Belgium is better, with the 5 speed and no electric extras.
