Thank you Gentlemen. Max, sent you a PM.
For all others, here's the car:
1994 Mercedes E320 Wagon
I offered $1K and she accepted. Has an $800 stainless exhaust she had put on last summer, new tires, car drove like a freight train. Has some niggles, needs front pads immediately, but is overall a car I don't think I'd mind putting a little money into. Needs a radio too. Any ideas if a later MB CD-Stereo will just plug in?
One thing I forgot: she said mileage has suffered since the idle thing.
