Man... I should post a poll on how many folks on this forum have bought a MB that had been given to the daughter and was ran out of oil and toasted. I just bought a nice "80" 240D 4 spd that had been well maintained by import shops in Seattle then given to the daughter who ran it out of oil. There was a hole in the pan big enough to throw a cat through. my first clue was not being able to get the dipstick all the way down to check the oil. Only payed $150.00 ( add on $100.00 + for ferry fares) an the interior is pristine which now resides in my Euro car. Not to talk stink about daughters but a Toyota or Sub might be a better choise.
