Re: [MBZ] Looks like a good deal for somebody closer that I am

Heh, tough to do unless you want to invest the time and effort…

Went out to rebuild the wiring in the right side headlight for the CL600 his 
morning.When I was done I noticed that the outer mount, a ball head that goes 
in a socket on the body, was cracked. Got it in place properly with a strap 
clamp and JB Welded it on the cracks to restore it’s integrity. This slowed me 
down for reassembling the front bumper, which will now have ot wait for tonight 
in order for the repair to properly set up. Hopefully, the mail will get here 
early so I can swap out the right rear ABS sensor.

I might take on the right door wiring tomorrow if I feel like a challenge…

For $1500 ignore it and drive it until it pukes. I wouldn’t buy a $1500 car to 
Martha as it’s not a realistic idea. Case in point, my 2001 ML500 that I bought 
for $1400 to use for moving between houses. Had it for a year, put maybe $500 
into it, and that’s because I had to replace a tire, and then sold it for 
$1800. Considering the value I got out of it I came out ahead.

And I never Martha’ed that car, either. Wasn’t worth the effort.
