Hello

Did the search on this forum and read the few germain harness post but.

I need advice from the experts here, locally there is a 1995 C220 for sale for $750 or make me an offer;

it is at a shop and will need to be towed (jer-dan about 70 miles to home), car was there for check engine light; tech chased down what he thought was egr, throttle body, mass air, ect.. to no avail, he now is sure it needs a new wiring harness- 10 hour job he said. the owner does not want to mess with it and told me to just make him an offer or he is goin got donate it. Car otherwise is in nice shape; body, seats, a/c, transmision, no leaks or drips., new tires. 180K miles, sagging headliner.

What worries me;

1) were to buy the harness, mb discontinued, i have seen some on ebay $500-$750, there is one on this site $98 but does not have enough wires, used in conjunction with fuel harness?

2) car is odb 1, and no real way of knowing for sure as with odb 11.

3) 10 hour job seems too long

Pass or Go, if go how much?

thanks for the advice
James
