This Mercedes Kept Breaking, so I Got Rid of It

722.6 gearboxes are notorious for leaking from the electrical connector. Almost guarantee that’s the issue. I realise you’ve sold it back, but just incase it helps anyone else out

I was going to say this sounds like a job for Alex from Legit Street Cars but then you sold it.

Glad you got it sorted out, no car is worth that level of anxiety. Whens the next state of the fleet due? We've missed your style!

I seem to recall you saying at some point that the coda is the least reliable car you own, bearing in mind that you also own a trabant, a yugo, a reliant robin, and a (non-functional) wheego life. Would you say the mercedes took that title from the coda?

Anxiety is a reason why there's a hybrid Toyota in my garage. I want to find out how to have Ed Bolian levels of confidence in driving cars that are Ed Bolian levels of sketchiness.

Also, is that a nice blue Yugo I spy in the background of that dealer? _heart eyes emoji_

I have PTSD from the smell of burning coolant. Bought a $1500 mid-80s diesel Merc off Marketplace, four hours away from home. Grenaded the engine two hours into the return trip and turned into a smoke machine. it would've cost me more in labor and towing than it was really worth, so I left it on the side of the road and gave the title to the tow guy.
