That would be correct. No Blue.
Such a valuable resource, this inter-web thing. If the first person I called, who had a 2005 E320 CDI for sale, had visited this forum, he may have not bought the car he was now trying to sell 5 months later. He scoured the country until he found the "perfect" car at a non-MB dealer in OH. In the first 3 months he had the oil cooler seals fail, the turbo oil seal fail, that resulted in a failed servomotor. Many dollars later he is trying to sell it way above market to recover his costs.
It was interesting to see these issues crop up as I waded through carfax service reports.
Thanks to this forum, I know about these potential failures and will look for a car they have been dealt with on, or discount my offer accordingly.
Thanks all. If I do actually purchase a vehicle, I'll let you know.
