A week before Christmas 2018 I found an ad for a free car from a lady I bought a mower from. I was the first to call and on Christmas Eve met her at the bank to get the title notarized.
We went to her house and I loaded a running 2003 Mercedes E320 on the trailer. I did some repairs, cleaned it up and started driving it on Dec 29th after getting plates on it. Heck, Discount Tire even checked the tires and said they were practically new.
They are moving to Louisiana and did not want to do the repairs on it, she has been sick and the car sat for 4 years
It is an awesome car! Funny, my parents and kids were fighting over it.
Since 2018 I have put new tires on it, replaced some interior parts but nothing major. It had a Mercedes program to have the gas tank replaced that has expired and so has the brake pump program. It is primarily a backup car but the way things are going with car prices I am going to continue maintaining it. I am going to find a 2009 (was not involved in recall) gas tank and replace the one that has a vapor smell and turns the check engine light on. I need to do more detailed servicing and try to update things where I can.
