update and thoughts on my new 99 e300

so far i am very pleased with the car, i have put maybe 3000 miles on it

took it to the dealer for an oil change last week and they said the motor mounts and trans mounts were completely worn out and some bushings needed replaced

these are not things the indie picked up on in north carolina, so i am not sure what i think on that

they also said it has some minor oil leaks and i do see oil on the bottom of the car so that much is true

either way it goes to my indie shop for an overall inspection on thursday, will be very interested to see what they say about it

the car is a bit floaty and i am going to replace the shocks for starters and go from there

fuel mileage has been a consistent 33mpg with about 50/50 hwy/city

we have several truck stops and safeway stores here that carry a bio diesel blend from 5% to 20% and i have been running only that in it

the only thing that seems to have any issues as far as function is the sunroof switch is not working all the time
i actually would like to replace the entire light console and switch assembly up there anyway if i can find one
