157k on a M119 is nothing. 20 years on the plastic cam oiler tubes is everything. Does it go klatta klatta klatta? Have the rear window regulators died yet, or the glass tilt/slide sunroof? But other than that, it's a great car that'll get 20-25mpg on the open road from premium of ever

Depends on the condition. If you were going to get a W140 chassis car, this would be one of the better ones based on the model year. 157k on a well maintained M119 is nothing. -D > On May 9, 2019, at 2:07 AM, Jim Cathey via Mercedes > wrote: > > My brother's got a 2-stroke Suzuki quad that

My brother's got a 2-stroke Suzuki quad that he's asking $2800 for. He's been offered a trade for a 1999 S500 with 157kmi on it. I guess he's considering it. Would this be a stupid thing? Any particular pitfalls? Newer than anything I'm familiar with, since it's not an E320. -- Jim

Just go drive one and see what you think. The newer the better. I would try to get a 98 or up. 97 down still uses 104 and 119. You already have das which is much more useful on a 210 than a 140 Sent from my iPhone On Jul 16, 2015, at 4:45 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin ka...@striplin.net wrote: We
