This auction is for my 2002 Mercedes C32 AMG. The car runs and drives, but has some sort of idle issue. When the engine is cold it's pretty much things as usual, but when it heats up the idle gets very rough. As soon as you give it some gas this shake goes away. There are no check engine lights right now, but if you drive it for a while one will appear. The code shows a miss (which is what it feels like), but I can't figure out what's wrong. I've tried replacing the plugs, wires, coil packs, manifold pressure sensor, and the intake temperature sensor. I've also smoked the engine to see if there's any leaks, but none appear. *update* I just drove it to the gym (about a 10 minute trip) and there were no symptoms at all. I really don't get it. There is rust in all the normal places (northeast winters). Some of it I tried my hand at fixing, but it's back. I learned I'm no body man.I tried to take pictures of all of the spots. I don't think any of them are rusted through so at least there's still some hope. You'll see that the rear passenger side door is missing the metal molding insert. I have the insert. It just needs to be put in. The handle on the roll up door covering the cupholder came off and the door is stuck rolled up. The bottom of the driver's seat will not move back or forward. The back and headrest as well as all other power seats work perfectly. Only the back works on the seat heaters. It's a common issue which can be easily fixed if you care to. The rear sunshade goes up perfectly, but needs to be put down manually. The driver's floor mat is pretty worn out. The rest are pristine. I will include my set of custom fitted weathertech mats as well. The brakes work great, but could probably use a bleeding since the car has been sitting for a while. The valve cover gaskets should probably be replaced. There are a couple chips in the windshield (they haven't spread). Also the driver's side front quarter panel has tree sap on it from a f'ing neighbor's stupid tree hanging over my parking spot... I have owned the car for six or so years now (since it had 79k miles). It has been a great car. Very reliable and I have kept up on the the maintenance items. Transmission fluid, differential fluid, fuel filters, oil changes with mobil 1 synthetic, air filters, and control arms, and bushings have all been changed regularly. The car also has a separate aluminum coolant reservoir and larger aluminum heat exchanger to help keep intake temperatures down and keep the supercharger nice and cool. These items alone are worth about $700. That's not retail either. That's what you could easily sell them for. The interior is in good condition for it's age although there are a couple black marks on the front pillars. I have never smoked in the car, but I suspect a previous owner did. There are no odors though. All the tools, air pump, fix a flat, first aid kit etc... are intact. The Comand navigation works great and the ac is cold and the heat is hot. One tire is new and the rest have plenty of miles left. If you pay the asking price I will throw in the winter wheels and tires as well. The wheels on the front are new and in good shape. The rear wheels are the original and show wear, but structurally are in good shape. (The winter wheels are almost brand new). That's all I can think of right now. Feel free to ask any questions. I know these cars inside and out and would be happy to speak you about anything. Also I'm available most Monday, Wednesdays, and Thursdays if you want to come by to see it / drive it. I located five minutes from the Downingtown exit of the PA turnpike Thanks for looking! Chris *The "accident" on the history report was me sliding on ice into a curb in my neighborhood. It just required a control arm replacement. No body damage. Also, I'm pretty sure that I'm the third owner not the fifth.
