I agree, thats a reasonable price for a low mileage 2.5 turbo.

I'm very happy with the car

Kamil,

By some of your questions here I.E. "does the starter get the GP going?" maybe the best thing you can do to the car is take it to someone else for any repairs.

I learn on these cars..... I never intend to be a mechanic as I only do it for a hobby. If I screw something up I have other cars to fall back on any second of the day. So far I have done many repairs and most have gone well. The only one that didn't come out too well was changing the injectors since I bought the crappy INDIA ones without knowing. Mercedes Diesels are only my commuters due to great gas mileage. My supercharged gti vr6 only gets about 17mpg on sunoco 93 grade.

To be honest with you; this might make me sound like a freak. I kind of enjoy when something breaks on my car from time to time. Working on the diesel is a great hobby for my girlfriend and I. (she's the assistant that hands me wrenches). If there was nothing wrong with the car I would have to buy another one just so I can fix something.

Thanks
