    Know the feeling. When I worked at a Nissan/Subaru dealer an older woman with a 84 Subaru Brat needed a governor gear and the repair estimate was $175. She wasn't putting any more money out and sold to me for $150. This was 1995 and those vehicles were pretty popular then., I spent $29 for a governor gear and cover gasket, cleaned it up and flipped it for $2900!!

    Old video but interesting, I think peoples eyes are a bit bigger than their bellies when they buy some of these cars, they're absolutely stretched to the 'nth degree just purchasing them so when they go wrong they just disappear, it's much easier to "look" rich than it is to actually make money the hard way.

    There’s a customer who authorised a repair job on a W211 E500 on his air suspension all four corner plus the air compressor. Once his got his bill back for 5500 AUD he freaked out. It been sitting there for about a year now.
    I’ll picked up my W211 E500 for about 15k 5.5 litre because the owner couldn’t afford the upkeep.

    Am looking at one but its kinda funky. It goes into 1st and 2nd fine but doesnt center well into neutral and going to 3rd is tempermental so im wondering if theres like a bushing or something to look for.

    Those are the AMG monoblocks too! same as mine! love these slks honesty. some parts are pretty available believe it or not. Maintenance is EVERYTHING.

    If you dont MAINTAIN IT
    it will MAINTAIN YOU.

    I honestly want to go nationwide fixing the r170 chassis. They are wonderful cars that just need a solid group of loyal supporters

    Question reguarding the 170 chassis; do you think greater steering angle can be achieved?

    My Audi dealer called me after I sent a stranded busted timing belt customer to them. They said the people bought a new car, and offered me first shot at the old one. It was maybe $1500 for a clean 1994 Audi 90 quattro that needed another $1500 or so. I did the deal and flipped it for a few bucks, but it ended up I got invited to NICE parties there, like the launch party for Porsche and Audi and even Audi quattro Challenge, circa 2002

    Funny the dealer figured out who I was from the story the customer told them, and worked backwards to get my phone number from the files, lol.
