Ugh, this isn't a super rare car owned by a more or less harmless eccentric that you need to tolerate.

There are enough issues that have been brought up with the deal that it _WILL_ end up going bad. ( Flood car , crash , failing engine / trans , lost title , lien on title , the seller not sending the title to the state and keeping the $ that should be sent to the state. ) I don't give anyone off kilter my business as I refuse to support them.

What goes bad on a 2002 C320 ? I'd say everything, that way what isn't broken is a bonus.
