He wants $3k for it, 130K miles, new trans last year. I gave it a once over and noticed two things, one is a trans leak somewhere (can't tell if it's the pan or cooler line or what just yet)..... And, the front end makes loud creaking when you bounce it up or down. Could be those control arm bushings you mentioned, or bad shocks. My 300se was making noise that sounded like the control arm bushings and it turned out to be blown shocks. Other than that, it ran quite well.

But, if wiring harness problems are typical, I'd better stay clear of it. My sister has no mechanical ability whatsoever so I don't want to saddle her with headaches and a money pit.


Thanks!
