This 300 SDL just goes and goes.... I replaced the shocks with Koni's several years ago and that was the best thing that i've done to the car .Great ride and great handling. I add 1/2 quart of syn oil at oil changes(dino oil) and that quiets the engine. Get a Johnson Controls battery under the brand name of Interstate, Die Hard, & several other brands and it will last over eight years per my experience.
