I spoke to the owner and the mechanic and we are done at $8800. I am very happy. I'll send him a check today to hold the car and now all I have to do is wait until my tranfer clears the bank to get the certified check for the balance!

I should be motoring in my 88 SE sometime next week with a little luck! I am so excited! At 35 I feel like a child on Christmas Eve!

I want to thank all of you who have taken the time to answer my questions over the last month or so. I feel like I am walking into Mercedes ownership with an army of help behind me and I can't wait.

Thanks again.
