Hi,
I'm new to this section and have had a look round (briefly).

I'm looking at buying the above with 40k miles on it. Asking price is £9995. FSH.

My question is, are there any issues I should be looking out for and is that about the right price?

Thanks.

Google 'M272 balancer shaft' first. This applies to all engines up to about 2008. There is an engine number after which a fix was been made. You can find this on mbclub.co.uk.
