Its tough to beat a Mercedes with a V8. I would not count on a lot of resale and you will be doing repairs. Make sure the trans engages quickly and shifts smoothly, check fluid level and color.

Good input, Douge. I parallel your thoughts......
I sold a V8 manufactured in 1996, 9 years ago, that according to it's on-board computer - averaged
13 mpg aroung town, and
16 mpg highway. Just not in-the-cards for me to keep a vehicle like that for basic transportation. However, the V8 was testosterone pumping!
