Monkey Wrench Mike has lost his mind. He bought the cheapest Mercedes he could find and will find out just how expensive that can be. Or not?? Is there life left in this old car??

$175 for that car is a great deal whether it runs or not! You could part that thing out and make that money back just on the interior components. Get her running get fresh paint and rubber and call it good.😊
