Hi;
Did the usual Carfax check and got a good feeling. Went to the dealer and drove the car. Better than the 2 previous cars I had taken out and after a drive in a 2010 I said this isn't what I am looking for.
Looks like the engine of my 2008 4matic is past the balance shaft issues. Also, I have the sports option and the C/S switch on the console to the upper left of the shifter.
So far have changed the oil ( filter not looking very clean ) and it is obvious that no one had put a wrench to the transmission drain plug-I am headed to an independent to have the transmission flushed tomorrow.
Other than some new tires and a set of brake pads everything is OK.
There is one issue regarding the rear window switch control located at the front driver's side control panel: it is stuck and does not want to come up. Have tried some gentle persuasion with a very light application of WD40 but so far it is still stuck.
Thank you for your advice,
Turner
