Today I went to close the deal on this 400E. I get there and the guy has just taken it out of the garage for the first time since I drove it over a week ago. It idled rough, and the check engine light came on. I let it warm up, took it for a spin. Although the idle smoothed out some, it did not run like it did last week, and the CEL stayed on. Wouldn't this be emmissions-related? He's only had the car since August, and it passed smog fine then. I poked around under the hood checking for bad wiring harness, couldn't really find any flaking wires. Car seems to be missing, like a slight shudder when it revs up. The last record I can find show a MBZ B service at 70,000miles. It has 94K now. They put in new plugs then, but no record of caps and rotors.

Smokie, Firstbenz, what do you think? Something simple, or a problem to stay away from? I could probably offer low, say $5k or so and get it. By the way, he paid $7800 for it last August. and has only put 4000 miles on it.
