thanks for all the input guys.currently she sits at the MB OF NASHVILLE E.R,,,,,gotten it down to a short in the cis-e,,$850.00 for the part,,,,ha-ha,love it !! dont hav theyre bill yet,but i gave them a looooooong list......told them to give it the certified pre-owned inspection an electrical inspection {if thats not a usual part/just to be sure},handed them $2,000 worth of parts that would each fit in the palm of your hand virtually with obvious directives,,told them to bring it up to spec as much as is possible and since {last thursday} have called back twice with list of things i forgot/thought to just go ahead and let them do,,yesterday purchased a new stereo for it,,,,,,,,,,by next week ill have invested about 5-6,000 dollars so far.........i need an exhaust system,virtually the whole thing,set of tires,new paint,passenger side fender and door,set of wheels theres another 5,000.................so,im wondering should someone start a money pit thread,,surely theres alot of horror stories,,,,,,,,oh,did i also mention about 2 weeks after i got the car,the guys ex-wife called to tell me the engine was rebuilt after she put 5lbs. of sugar in the tank....it was rebuilt by joe nobody,so god only knows what the 60k miles of driving or so since has done. at first 1300 bucks seemed to good to be true. hopefully i dont hear something worse when mb calls,,,,i almost expect i will though.oh, i also found in my fusebox,r-4 was missing. dont know what it controls. but that was sorta the last straw/deciding factor for the trip to m.b.
