I’ve done this on cars I wasn’t interested in. That is, I went to look at one and decided I didn’t want it. I’ll usually offer advice to address issues, deficiencies or offer marketing ideas if the owner seems interested. It’s the right thing to do in my mind. Of course, there have been some I wouldn’t give the time of day to if they were asses, even if there was a simple fix. -D > On Nov 30, 2021, at 4:14 PM, Floyd Thursby via Mercedes > wrote: > > Nah, you're right, no reason to be an ass about it.

> no reason to be an ass about it. Exactly. Even considered selfishly, assery makes it less likely that you can buy other such vehicles in the future. > I have actually gone to look at cars with some simple problem, helped the > owner get it sorted, or point them to the issue, and felt good about that. Good. (Literally!) My bet is that it's the CPS, and if it isn't it probably needs one soon anyway. That and the can of WD-40, and maybe you're golden. Our suddenly cantankerous and strand-ey E320 has behaved flawlessly since the CPS was replaced. Good thing it had only ever done it to me, else the wife probably would not drive it. -- Jim ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com

Nah, you're right, no reason to be an ass about it. I have actually gone to look at cars with some simple problem, helped the owner get it sorted, or point them to the issue, and felt good about that. --FT On 11/30/21 4:00 PM, Jim Cathey wrote: Yeah there's that too, but then drive by waving and honk the horn...

That's exactly what I was thinking, or some connector got knocked loose. Get the CPS, show up, do the deal for less, pop the CPS on in the street or driveway in 15min and drive the thing home and they will feel screwed but think you're some kind of genius.
