You suggest trailering it home. I'm not interested in a car that needs to be trailered. Are you just being cautious?

Yes, I am indeed being cautious. The car has been nothing short of dead-reliable to me, but as with any 20+ year old car, there is always that learning curve. I bought the car and had it trailered to IL, just to be safe. It was a good move, as one of the SLS lines started leaking a few weeks after it arrived, which would have been catastrophic if it had happened on the road. I replaced the line and went on tinkering and fixing the little things that I could find to fix. I suspect the car would make it to just about anywhere, but I am not willing to guarantee that, of course.
I'll take some under-the-hood pics, but it's certainly not what I'd call pretty. It looks like a typical semi-high-mileage Benz diesel that has not been detailed. It could benefit greatly from a good steam cleaning.
Thanks for your interest, by the way; where are you from?
