How strange... I had asked by email if he had ever had the CEL checked and if the car has any other problems now....
The reply was: "Understood, thanks for looking".
What in the heck is that supposed to mean?
Oh well.
I have also found a 95' S420 for $3950, with 139K miles. Timing chain and wiring harness change is not known, BUT it has a new evaporator which seller paid $3200 to have replaced and its a nice car! Do it?
