Congrats on finding a 97 E420 for under 30k!

Have driven many of them; they are great cars, have pretty good handling although you may find that your 300E handles a little better in hard driving.

BTW, My 500 is now gone and I have gotten a 1991 560SEC instead. Always looking for good deals in Philly/NJ area.

Thanks,
Ben
