Need help! I have an 88' 300e and I'm having a hard time getting it started. It will turn like it want's to start but does not. It coughs around the air filter. I left my niece use the car and I believe she ran it low on fuel. Where should I start. I drove it home because she messed it up(brakes are gone) and pissed me off. It has 223,000 miles on it and was running fine when I initially let her use it this past summer. She treated it like a truck!
The ball joints, shocks, struts and strut mounts need replacing! Tires too! I opened the hood and found that the power steering pump cover is missing! I paid $800 for the car, spent about 500 and it was a functional daily driver.
Should I fix it or move on?
