Ha! Scotty the “Mouth” Kilmer. He irritates the crap out of me sometimes, but then I remember that HE is one of the reasons that I can buy used and fantastic condition Mercedes for nest to nothing. Let him keep scaring people with his ignorance and superiority complex. LoL. I’ve checked out his videos on other cars as well just to see if he is as ham handed as he seems. Yep, he is. I am not ignorant of mechanics, I have been working on cars, truck, and heavy equipment for the past 50 years, and I am also an electrical and mechanical engineer. I came to the Mercedes Benz world late in life, buying my first one only 10 years ago, but I can attest that they are a joy to work on compared to most cars and as long as you have a good diagnostic computer, there are very few mysteries. I have the MB Star, and also an Autel Maxdas DS 808. I use the Maxdas constantly, it is way simpler to use and does everything I could want other than programing. a bit more than $700, but worth every penny.

Her, as well as my other kids, got a $3500 buy limit. After checking over a dozen cars of every make there was no winner. They all had high miles and looked and ran like crap. Finally one day I found a 2001 E320 for $2400.00. It had over 300,000 miles and needed a few things that I was able to handle as I’m an old mechanic. Basically, put another $2000 in it and the thing runs like a top and I see it doing that far into the future.
