I have been looking for a 300sd md, and I found one. Here is a list of the problems I observed.
- Mechanic said possible needed gp relay or gps it started, weather was warm about 70 deg F. The gp light did not come on.
- engine idled ok, no nailing observed.
- transmission shift kinda hard from 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to 4th ok
after drive, checked transmission fluid, it was low, but was on dip stick
- right turn signal did not work
- odometer did not work, miles at 266,000
- windows rolled up and down
- front seat adjusted using electrical controls
- leather cracked on drive seat
- sun roof was closed and did not operate w control
- shimmy in front end about 70 mph
- cruise control did not appear to work
- temperature control ac did not work could not tell if heater worked (this could be more important)
some of this work I can do, ie gp relay, replace gps
I have heard that the temp control system is hard to work on.
I made an offer of $700, but it was turned down.
any advice?
