Ha ha -- yep, in the worst way.

I went with the '01 E430 because of the low mileage and ridiculously long and anal service history by the original owner; he took it for dealer servicing for every imaginable problem or non-problem.

This is my first V8, and my first 21st-century Mercedes, so let's see what surprises are in store for me ahead.
