Thanks Pete! Appreciate it and agreed. Not sure what I’m going to do with it now. It is running and driving now. And other than the cosmetic stuff due to sitting and being vandalized, the reverse gear is about 80% dead as expected. But then I also picked up a very clean white 97 420 with 107k on it that is actually in very good condition minus the headgasket leak. It runs fine and doesn’t overheat but when it cools it leaks into one cylinder enough to hydrolock it if I don’t release the pressure before letting it sit. Guy just put $4k into it in suspension repairs then this happened. He was going to just junk it so I offered some and got it for $200. Man the 97s are so much nicer.

Hey Vito. Thought I see you in more benz comments. Lol.

Next update video will show what I did after this, I have driven it around a bit

Where is the update video bro?

I don’t understand why people are so scared of the wiring harness issue. It’s almost always just the main engine harness that needs replacing, and you can do it in an hour all by yourself. Sometimes the lower harness needs replacing, but it’s still not a big deal. The rest of the wiring on these cars is high quality and has no issues.

Very easy. The only other wiring issue besides the engine harnesses that I can think of is the occasional mirror harness, the 97 I just got has that issue.

95 96 97 98 99 were all good years. Anything before the first face lift had problems. But almost all those cars had the warranty harness replacement done. So they were as good as any of the rest.

@@garrettdodson6110 95 should have been the same as the years before it. 1996 was the facelift.

95 was a partial face-lift, best I can tell is really just the exterior lighting. Still has distributors, mechanical transmission, early climate control, mirrors etc. But newer tail lights and front turn signals.

Indeed it is!

That’s true I spent almost that much for one of the rear windows that was busted on it 😂 still need to replace it and update this car too
