If it's a total turd and losing $2k is going to break the bank, move on. You really only need it to go a couple of years and you're ahead of the game though.
Bought my first and only MB a couple of years ago sight unseen. A 78 300TD euro 5spd. with 300k miles. $1k sight unseen. It's a dream boat.

oh and believe you / me i don't like buying a vehicle without an in-person inspection, but... it was serviced at the dealership like 4K miles ago and has 43 service records at the dealership over the decades. that and if i can get it for like 2K I think it might be a steal, but I never owned one of these so trying to get a sense of is it a headache to keep on the road and so on. |
