Merkava_4, that's what I'm concerned about regarding the Dexcool: If the owner let it get low, he may not have maintained the system as well as it requires. (The rest of the car looks immaculate, however.) I'm perfectly willing to have it flushed, if it needs it, and keep up with it in future.
On the other hand, I may be remembering the coolant tank level wrong; I was startled by the orange color, and only later found that that's normal for Dexcool.
G20ooh, the warranty is a 3 month/3K mile bumper-to-bumper coverage; the PA is a certified used car with less than 60K miles. On top of that, I have about a year of the 5 year/100K powertrain warranty left -- the car went into service in Oct. of 2003. I'd never buy any used car without either a warranty or a careful inspection by a mechanic I know and trust.
Yeah, I want the car. I loved the way it rides -- a big pacing mustang, so to speak, instead of the well-bred cow pony the C230 reminds me of. I wish I could fix the MB and keep it as well . . . but that's not in the budget right now.
