3: $1000
4: I need the front timing over resealed (leaking pretty good). Need pass axle. Needs flywheel or starter (dead spot somewhere). Motor mounts(badly). Body work!
With all those things I need done.. The car is still awesome.

95, White with tan leather. Auto tranny. GLE with Bose system. Right about 160k on the clock.
Found it at a local dealer after our car was totaled.
Just under $5k after taxes.
Car was in good shape for it's age/mileage. Had not been abused. Had to do hood struts and replace warped rear rotors. Otherwise it's been a champ. Cold weather in town mileage sucks but on the highway it's in the high 20s per gallon.

I just got this baby off craigslist in earlier this month 1999 GLE Sterling Mist w/Black Leather Near Mint condition w/ 85,500 miles. Total = 5500
Minor nicks and scratches almost want to take it to a body shop just so it looks new again, leather is pristine except a rip on the rear pass door.
2nd day driving i was trying to impress my Dad with the cleanliness of the engine and there was radiator fluid sputtering out near the cap.
Replaced the Radiator and from the conversations i had with the owner who babied the car. Everything is bone stock nothing has been changed except routine oil changes.
First thing i did was tinted the car the same week with legal TX 32% in the front and Limo 6% in the back.

A thread with a different focus started to veer in this direction, and I need some advice as to where I should be looking, because what I'm finding aren't nearly as good as the deals others have been getting.
So:
1) What is your car (or was it when purchased) ex: 1998 SE Auto, black on black, stock.
2) Where did you find it? ex: locally ; autotrader ; this forum ; etc.
3) How much did you pay?
4) What issues did you have to fix immediately?

- 1998 automatic, 168,222 miles, black with grey cloth interior, Sat ready radio/cd player, 10 disck cd changer (in trunk)
- Autotrader.com
- $2900 (after tax & dealer fees) listed @ $4,918 & it came with 4 new tires! Bought it this past weekend.
- front left turn signal needs replacing (wire broken), front rotor needs turning or replacing, cd stuck in cd player & not recognizing cd changer.

1) 1996 SE 5-spd, 138k on a 97 engine. new clutch (short throw shifter). A very powerful car.
2) Bought it in Boston from a friend, drove it back to Madison, WI
3) $2000
4) Interior rust from a leak in the rear passenger floorboard that ruined carpet. Resurfaced and removed rust, and then installed new carpeting. Alloys needed a lot of tlc and new tires. Still need to replace antenna. Black trim had fake wood glue-on pieces that I took off. Bose system still needs to be adapted to aftermarket stereo. Right front bumper is dented. Trunk needed work.
