Don't show your cards. Tell him it has a bad intercooler pump, and he might replace it and up the price.
You can definitely use the rusty doors and other faults to your advantage though.
Good luck.
Good advice Anthony. Except he is buying at low price from a friend so I don't think negotiations are in order. But, for that money one could not really go wrong.
TomSRT had the best advice here, STAY AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP.
Any independent that works on Benzes can service this car better and for less than the FIAT (pun intended) stealerships..
