Hes a little bit mad :eek:.No he picked it up for a good price and i guess the merc needed a little more power.:D How do you think the exhaust will go either side Matt?

Rovercare any comments on Merc 180C
up here I dont get many good second hand cars and I have found a 1999 180C with 75000 ks on it it looks perfect and I need something to replace my wifes old Subaru. Prices seems ok for where I live
Are they a good thing or a bad thing.

To be honest, I have no idea, I know nothing about mercs, Nor do I really want to:angel:

Sorry to be of such little help:(

Interesting, dirty and weird. German styling, British power and a little japanese thrown in for good luck. :D



djam1 - Pete (RedOctober) on here is a merc mechanic for a living. I am sure he would be happy to answer your questions if you send him a PM.
