so you're actually suggesting spending ANY money to have a $500 car PPI'd? to paraphrase the OP/buyer you CANNOT go wrong at $500.....now if you go blowing 4 grand trying to have someone fix the car that is a different story but to get it and try to fix it on the cheap? no worries

Have the indie go over the car and advise what engine work must be addressed immediately. As mentioned, owners don't let MB automobiles sit for 2 years unless there are problems that they don't know how to fix, or they can't afford to fix.
