I got my $500 Mercedes W202 driving again!

Good to see the w202 back on the road🤗

Nice job man thats alot of work for a first car. Good thing you have a garage and tools, and money lol

[@CMCSBENZ]

@@MollyPopper thanks! I was also super lucky the arm snapped in the garage

[@fruitpunch5260]

Did u get it checked out by a mechanic before buying? Just curious if they would’ve known this was about to break? (Looking at buying a W202 myself)

[@CMCSBENZ]

@@fruitpunch5260 I didn’t just cause an inspection would have cost like as much as the car 😭

[@LuckyStar4648]

Taking it to a Mercedes dealership would be way more expensive than doing “DIY” work. I can’t imagine how much would that cost,

[@CMCSBENZ]

@@LuckyStar4648 they might have just refused to not deal with the rust

[@LuckyStar4648]

It does make it too problematic, I forgot about that.
