For this car, I wanted ATE so long as they are available. It gets a lot of road miles, and may be on the road another 10 years or more. I think it has 200 or 300k miles left in it before it needs major bucks. Rick Knoble via Mercedes March 27, 2018 at 3:12 PM

Re: [MBZ] More copart crack

I hate to disagree with Poos, but it looks like the paint and body might be good.  I think the car is just dusty.  Yes, the front passenger seat is cracked and the center armrest cover is bad, but it might not be bad.  I guess I will find out Friday or Monday when I go pick it up. On 3/27/201

I will just take some decent photos and stick it on Craigslist. I’m thinking I am going to take some decent photos of that 300ce I picked up a couple of weeks ago and see if I can flip it real quick too. After I got it home I find the car interesting but don’t have a whole lot of interest in it.
