Thanks Scott.
I went to take a look at the car last night. The guy who was selling it was the second owner and it has been his regular wheels for the last year. He was asking $2,250 but I got him down to $1,600 so I decided to buy it.
My dad has a '91 300D and his girlfriend has a '93 190 so I am going to have the guy they use, who specializes in older Mercedes, in Stevensville, MD take a look at it. At that price and mileage I figured the worst that could happen is I took it to get inspected by him and he would tell me it needs something major and I could get rid of it for near what I have into it.
One question I did have is about the vibration while idling. When the car is in gear and idling it has a higher than normal vibration - barely any vibration in park. I thought I've read that sooner rather than later with these cars the engine mounts need to be replaced and that would take care of the vibration issue. Is that an issue that you had with yours?
Thanks again,
Miles.
