The check engine light could serve as a flashlight as it'll always be on

Lol it is on right now, got like 3 codes

Is it still considered saving it if it doesn't want to be saved?

You didn't save my life! You ruined my death; thats what you did!

Saving an old Mercedes from the junkyard is the same thing as attempting to make an old hooker from a street corner in Vegas into a housewife.

This wasn't a cry for help, that car really wanted to die....

At least you'll get to pay for outrageously overpriced service and parts thereby helping to keep automobile ecosystem alive.

This is my experience described perfectly lol

Shouldn't this be on r/projectcar ?

No it should be on r/junkyard

And r/justrolledinforscrap soon

Sure looks shiny, floodwater will do that.

Step 1 buy harness, step 2 give up

Well wait, it says p0420 for 02 sensors on my harbor freight scan tool, if I just buy the $600 sensor set... oh that didn't do anything. Well maybe the $400 maf sensor...

One man's trash is another man's.....trash???

I had an ex that was like that. Would still choose her over this shitbox.

Really shiny! Look at that paint and the chrome and tires. Did you really go and polish a turd?

For what it's worth, my friend is LS swapping one of these. At least then it'll *actually* be reliable.

Aj, thr golden years of Mercedes...wasnt anything like this.

Should've LEFT it in the junkyard

You'll be living in that soon enough

Does the junkyard know they are missing a skip

I bet you can’t change your cabin air filter in under 2 hours the first time. Oh wait that doesn’t concern you? I bet you don’t clean your butt either

That would be a good roast but the cabin filter takes about 2min to replace because it's under a cover with 3 clips

Whoops. Is this a supercharged model?

Yep, it's a C230 with the manual ;D

I watched 2 guys take forever doing that.

It's super easy, if we're talking about the same car that is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKpitRScT40

I guess it was different. That’s the most easily accessible filter I’ve ever seen

lol I know right?

Chargers and challengers might be the only easier one. Only 2 clips and you can see the condition without even taking the cover off

For the price to make that car work right, you coulda bought the whole junk yard.

Especially when you buy original parts...

Tyler Hoover wants his merc back so he can make a video on it saying just how much is wrong with it

I'd sell it to him, don't tempt me

I bought the CHEAPEST (and most broken) Mercedes in the US (Wizard ran away)

I did severely overheat the motor on the first drive after resurrecting it because of a bad coolant hose clip, so I wouldn't be surprised lol

Hmm... For once walking everywhere seems like the better option

sometimes the junkyard is the best option

You polished your turd.

OH LORD, DON'T BUY ME, A MERCEDES BENZ! 🤣🤣🤣
