OK - so PPI is done and these were the issues (in no particular order):
- Wipers
- Battery is weak (8.9v)
- Coolant expansion cap is leaking
- Small amount of oil in intake system
- Air intake snorkel clip broken
- Coolant weak (-22)
- Rear main seal leak
- Left front differential seal leak
- Front bumper and hood has been repainted (repainted really well though)

All in all the above items would total approximately $3500 to repair. Riegel told me to offer the seller 42k so I did and the guy won't budge claiming he can get 44.5k at the local MB dealer as a trade-in for the new car he wants to buy.

So the search continues... sigh.
