I honestly dont know...

No matter how much you test a used car, you will miss something~~so i also go on my assessment of the previous owner
the car is in great shape, but the AC is Kaput. I bought it on instinct and hunch, I tried to assess the owners maintainance. When I say Mercedes filters on his garage wall plus the fact that it was parked in his garage, I was pretty sure he was a honest guy. he was an older 50 year old guy with a lot of tools and a conservative feeling about him..
I did see stains on the floor where it was parked. When I asked him about it, he told me the car leaked alittle trans oil
I have only driven it a few times. I heard somewhere that its supposed to go 0 to 60 in 8.5 sec--I dont think mine can.., not yet anyway
I opened it up on the Highway for kicks--i saw a Puff of White smoke in the mirror for 3 minutes, and then it went away and the car seemed to smooth out, confirming my feeling that he was honest in saying his wife used it for 2 years but got sick of it because it was so damn big..she probably did a lot of stop and go

The paint is white, it looks new
