looked at 96 e300

175000 Miles on the odometer

The good. I didn't get the wheels off but it looked extremely clean and rust free. Very good for a w210.

Engine ran smoothly.

The bad:
Glow plug light was blinking when supposedly the plugs were changed last fall. My guess is the relay needs to be replaced / prefire chamber was not properly reamed or both. DIY cost 200-300 depending on nature of repair.

Tires need replacing. ~600 for new Michelins.

car needs aligning. 100 or more depending on where I get it aligned

Guy is asking 4400 for it thinking about offering him $4000 maybe $3900

The Ok - The Tex could be in better shape but its not bad

I need a deal and if I could have a very driveable and reliable car for $5000 it would be a good price
