Trouble codes on S320 1998

[benzs500]

Hi All,

Someone is selling a pretty nice S320 with 140k on it for 3500. It has the check engine light on and is getting the below codes.

Should I stay away or would the car be worth fixing?

This person claims it overheated once and afterward the light came on.

That seems like a red flag to me.

I have been looking for an w140 for a while but all I seem to find is these problem ones. I am willing to spend the extra $ but there are just none for sale in my area.


1 evap emission control system leak
2 engine coolant temp circuit malfunction
3 fuel trim malfunction bank 1
4 o2 sensor circuit malfunction bank 1 sensor 1
5 idle control system rpm high

Overheated once would be a deal killer for me. We might be able to help you find a car if we knew where you were.

I agree the over heating issue was a deal killer.

I am in Western Pennsylvania. Thanks again.
