No, your next step is to find a benz mechanic in the DC area and have the car inspected. Once you get a favorable report, then you can fly up. Unless you want to visit our nation's capital anyway. It's very pretty in the snow. Be sure to budget at least 2 days of visit the hallowed halls of our seats of power, the Smithsonian and the national gallery. There's lots to see 'round washington.
