with 98k miles you better figure it's due for all four struts,
front lower ball joints,and control arm bushings,,,,
the front driveshaft and trans are both on their final stages of life and will be toast soon,
and that's just the beginning.
I see it every single day in my shop.....
first the new owner brags about how "cheap" or how good of a deal they got on the car,,,,
then a few failures happen and they start really regretting the purchase.
My opinion" if you are the second/3rd etc owner of any merc built after about 2002-03 ish you got screwed,,,even if you got the car for free! Don't believe me,,,,just wait til that 722.9 trans takes a poo, or the SBC or the air ride, or the balance shaft on a v6. There's a very good reason why most MBZ techs don't seem to drive 10 year old high mile benzes anymore.
