So today I went to see a 96 W202 a private trader I know has taken in px I expected it to be a bit rough for an early one But it turned out to be absolutely fantastic with full history no rust or any scratches anywhere, the dilemma is that we are due to move within the next 14 days and I didn’t want to buy another car just yet until we’re settled in, I can secure storage at my in laws for now, but tonight I’m sitting contemplating what to do Buy or not? , my plan would be the same as usual low on decent rims, I’m not worried about modifying it after it’s just an old merc , I’m due to go back in the morning to have a further inspection as I only got a quick look Over it today So RR knowledgeable people help me make my mind up?

Buy it. You want it, you can store it and life is too short.

What he said - if you want it, buy it, store it till the move has blown over

'hi darling, look what I've bought you...'?? Some time ago a 'friend'( I use the term advisedly) tried to wind up swombo that I'd bought another car at a show we'd both been at. He was disappointed with the lack of response, she wouldn't have been surprised in the least.

Looks a nice thing, they always make me smile with that bloody light switch 😀Merc put that in every car, van & even trucks (7.5 tons to tractor units) I never got my head round that. You’d climb in a 308D builders van & it had the same switch as the MD’s £50k motor
