I'd personally stay away from 124 cars with the ASR "traction control" system.

Those ads on the MBCA link posted above might be the way to go.

When I was a member of the club, I noticed that the cars for sale were always the cleanest you'd ever find.

The sellers were also a bit optimistic on their asking price, but I guess that's the price you pay for a good car.

Once again, if there's a car you want me to look at in Southern California, lemme know.

OOOHH.....the Mercedes Club.......I forgot about that. That's what I'm looking for......creams puffs....

Thanks guys....

You'll need to become a member to get on their website to look at the classifieds.

I'm no longer a member, but you might ask someone here on the ShopForum to copy and paste the classifieds for you.

There is also The Star Magazine that comes with the annual membership that has a ton of classifieds in it.

Paul......where exactly are you in So.Cal?.....there are a few cars down there that might be something I'm interested in but I don't want to ask you to drive very far at all.

I think I will join the Mercedes club.......

Thanks,
Aaron

i.e. not to buy an ASR car. Do a search for "ASR light" and/or "limp home" - you should get a few hundred threads.

Uh oh....

(I have ASR)
