In this video Kent explains the key reasons why you should order a pre-purchase inspection from a knowledgeable mechanic BEFORE purchasing any Mercedes - particularly those made from 1998 to 2004. These include the W140, W202, W210, W220, W215, W203, or W211 chassis as well as others. This type of inspection can actually pay big dividends both in the purchase price and in the cost of maintaining the car during ownership. In Part 8 of this 10 part series Kent explains the key items you should check over during your initial inspection. In Part 10 he covers the things you will want to attend to during the period of initial ownership and how to deal with future D.I.Y. repairs.
