MY BAD E420 (need the opinion) Hi Everybody
I would like to hear some opinions about my situation. Recently I bought E420 for $4100 110K no rust in great shape at least that what I thought on the beggining. Mechanic fixed damaged oil sending unit for $230 so lets say I end up in $4500. So far I noticed and discover fewer issues
Whining (somethimes) alternaor bearing = replace alternator (reman from Bosch +/- $220)
Damaged air pump ($250 rebuild one)
Bad starter bearing ($150 I guess starter repalacement)
last but not least (brake light issue 3 bulbs lit on and die when hit the brake - I guess harness on my year $???)
PLUS all above + labor
I found good mechanic he told me drive the car for a while (runs great) will see whats up. I can drive the car without any problems I love the car but thats a lot t do on this baby. What do you think should I sell the car? or rather slowly fix it. I wasready to invest $1000 but if harness is bad I wll be long short on $1000. I love this car even with 16mpg but I am really confused what to do. I guess mechanic can fix air pump, alternator and starter at the same time to lower labor time and cost but I am affraid about harness. If not the brake light everything else like blinking interior lights and no exterior temp sometimes, wont bother me at all. I like to have all my staff in order and hate to have even minor issues. Please let me know what your opinion is |
