Very good info in this and your previous post. Craiglist is a bucket of ****ery for sure. I'll have to go see the car and check it out. Curious as to why his license is suspended and how this will help me negotiate the price. He's got a ton of cars posted in the by owner section of CL, now I know why. He claims this car is his mothers car for the last three years. Personally I don't believe a thing he says.

Where/how can I find out which dealer is 15309?

I know the dealer didn't install the HVAC system, I saw the evap from 2008, seller said he replaced the radiator, condenser, compressor and refrig lines with OEM equivalent parts....we'll see.

The VMI was provided to me by the dealer when I gave them the VIN. I won't have a dealer work on the car anyway, they're WAY too expensive.

The indies round these parts say the engine and trans are solid, that they cars have electrical and window problems. Fortunately for me I've got a good, no a great indie (though not a benz specialist) on my side. I'll likely take the car to him for a shakedown.

Seller told me he's moved the car to Benz Connection on Davis Road who is a friend of his, to install something with the accelerator pedal, so using them for a PPI is out.

At the end of the day, I like the car, but I'm not going to over pay for it and this seller has been less than honest with me from the getgo, (didnt tell me about the seats, so I presume he was going to plug the modules back in before I arrived) so we'll see what else I can find out.

Really good info about his license being suspended so we'll see how bad he wants to sell this car on Monday.

Thanks for all your support everyone and have a great holiday!
