I would concur. I've never heard a noise from a bad flex disc. When the center bearings get noisy or the bearing carrier fails, you'll get the "rum-rum-rum" noise at or above a certain speed, and it will change in frequency with a corresponding change in speed. The 300SEL had a really thrashed

Re: [MBZ] Tars

My local Craigslist has a couple of places that are always advertising used tires for cheep. I've looked at their ads and they seem to have a good range of brands and sizes that are pretty reasonable based on the brand/type/amount of tread depth. They are physical businesses, not in the best o

Re: [MBZ] OT BMW diagnosis Question

Possibly. Another reason could be that the system isn't sealed or is leaking elsewhere. The W140s will do this, and if it's not the cap it's a leak in the lines back to the tank from the recirculation system or a bad valve that controls vacuum into that system. -D > On May 30, 2017, at 3:22 P

Re: [MBZ] Come Begging

I do have more pictures but they're not great. If I pursued this car there is a trusted second generation MB shop nearby I would have a PPI done at. No word back from the seller. I kind of doubt I'll hear from him... -D > On May 31, 2017, at 9:32 PM, Curley McLain via Mercedes > wrote: > >

I don't know, my radar is up on this one. I did some checking on the contact information and it's totally out of whack with the stated logistics. That is, the seller was in WI and now rural UT. Their phone and other records tie them to southwestern FL. They came down $5000 on my claim of stated

Re: [MBZ] Come Begging

Thanks. Mitch's buddy was a bust, too, but that's just the way it goes sometimes. As I said previously, there's a really good second generation indie shop that's real close to the seller that I would use for a PPI if I followed up. -D > On Jun 1, 2017, at 8:12 AM, Meade Dillon via Mercedes

Re: [MBZ] This Looks Nice, But....

I don't follow that list closely. Just skim the traffic every couple of weeks. Thanks for mentioning it, though. He did offer to put eyeballs on it, but the seller was really weird and didn't know anything about the car, and didn't seem willing to get more pictures or other information. -D >

If you're going to do the math, you had better figure on a worst case scenario and what the current market value would be for similar houses in your area before you do anything. Also consider the cost of the money you're borrowing to buy it, assuming you're not paying cash. And would you have
