I haven't abandoned the thought of keeping the car yet. I was just a little disappointed on the whole driving experience of the car. I also only driven it once for 10 miles going from the shop back to my house since I was then going on vacation. I am going to give it another bath today and take it out with my wife for a drive. It may grow on me.

I always liked the way these 300d's looked and remember back when I was in high school my friends parents had one of these. Also my wife's parents had two 300's when they were new so they are excited to see the car once I am done with it.

I have two issues with the car still. One the A/C doesn't work and the shop said there was some vacuum leaks. He blocked off the vacuum to the climate controls for now so the engine doesn't run on after shut down due to a vacuum leak. I don't know if its a hose or what the issue was. I think I should be able to trace this down myself. Second is the sunroof opens easy but closing it would move about 3 inches then you can hear a clicking noise and the sunroof will not move any further. I have to pull on it to get it to close all the way. Is it a cable or what would you recommend I check?
