much more investigation is required. that "electrical issue" could be something major and cost quite a bit to fix or replace whatever is broken.
blue book value is somewhere between $19,800 - $23,300

There are 4 Benz dealers within 25 miles of that place that could diagnose that "electrical issue", so why haven't they taken it to any of them? I know exactly where that place is. If you'd rather spend $18G's on a running car, I'll take $18Gs for my 126.

You'd want the full SDS scan for all systems before touching that car. Could be something silly easy or multiple big dollar components.

I would be weary. It could be something as simple as the ignition not being able to code the key, a bad key, neutral safety switch...... Or it could be as big as the Drive Authorization System is bad, and not letting the car start....

I would suspect the dealer knows what is wrong. Most likely they have run it by a qualified mech and figured out they were not going to put that much into that CL and be backwards in it. If it was a cheap fix they would have done it. Run away.

Yeah that could be an expensive problem. Does it even crank? If it cranks and dies out that could point to a DAS issue either with ME or EIS. I priced an ME the other day for an 02 S430- It was $2500 plus just for the part. Be prepared to dump some money into it if you really want it.
I second the suggestion to see the list of fault codes.
