So is it a 92? Fairly high miles. I’d want to see service records. That price is kinda the Hoovie range — pay stupid money that you’ll never get back. Market price would be in the high sub-$10k range if it’s in very nice condition with comprehensive service records --FT Sent from iFōn > On

Has sensors that know actual pressures. (I’m not sure how accurate they are). Do a scan and see if there are any stored codes or events. It might be that the sensors are going bad, they seem to have a finite lifetime --FT Sent from iFōn > On Jul 13, 2023, at 6:52 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes

When the sensors fail, does the car show some kind of alert or just stop reporting on the tire pressure? The '04 E500 had a low tire a week or two back and I never saw any warning about it. I haven't checked it yet to see if I picked up a nail or what All kinds of crap in the roads right no

Actually the temp sensor must have had some kind of glitch. The fans were running on high and keeping coolant at 80C, ambient was probably 90F. It usually runs a solid 85C maybe 90C if idling in traffic. I turned it back on later and it was ok. --FT Sent from iFōn > On Jul 13, 2023, at 11:22
