I checked out the car that started this thread and I'm not going to purchase it.
The body and interior look great - all it needs are carpet and a dash cover. But then I started & attempted to drive the car. The engine would not come off of idle until it had warmed up. Also, it had a serious miss. I know from my past two 4.5 liter Mercedes engines that a miss can be caused from several expensive items, including (from personal experience) a bad cam lobe. Too many unknown costs scared me away.
