They don't go into P b/c the linkage bushing wears out and does not allow the selector to move the link the proper amount before the gear indicator plate stops the lever ... That is why we always ask the owner to try N and report back the finding.. there is no plate stop on either side of N as there is in P.
This part is aroud $3....

That sounds wonderfull... I was just searching the forum and thats what i figured is wrong. will let you know tomorrow after talking to the garage. thanks so much..

Same thing is happening with my son's 420SEL. Sometimes just put your foot out and roll the car a little bit to lock it in Park and it will start.
