Not a bad find, really. It's hard to pass up the good A/C system and a clean body is a major plus. But with the lack of a turbo on an auto tranny, the questions about tranny health and the high miles this is a $1000 car, at best. If you will keep looking, you will find that there are plenty of stronger drivers out there that will be much better overall cars for the money. Rust-free is not so much of an issue out there in the SW. So, I would pass. She's way overpriced. The best deals on these MB Diesels seem to be mostly from private parties.
