All that does is quickly wear out a set of expensive tires....and put stress on the drivetrain.

Well this car was not even close to being built like my 2002 outdated GS 300 in terms of comfort, functionality, and shale i say it, crafsmanship lol. From simple things like how the door locks operated in the C how they made a weird broken like sound to how the rear sunshade sounded like it was about to break when lowering, the seats were hard, the steering wheels felt rough, starting the car, whoa.....totally not the sound i was expecting from a Mercedes, my once again 2002 GS 300 with 118,000 miles sounds way more refined at startup.

I just guess i had to see it for myself, well now i have and i cannot justify making a purchase like that. I have decided to just fix my car, can get the parts i need for a good price, and when i get my car fixed, i can just buy a warranty for the car if i wanted.

I appriciate everyone's opinion, it was much needed and very seen!
