Well, here's the one I came home with...

After about a month of poring over the AutoTrader.com and Cars.com and Craigslist and local papers and other metropolitan area's local papers, I have finally come home with one I found in Ft. Wayne, IN. Seems to be a nice, solid car and very comfortable! I will have some questions forthcoming so any help I can get will be greatly appreciated...

I am attaching a couple "coming home" pics! My 81 year old dad is driving it home for me. He enjoyed it!

All the service pages have been stamped by an authorized dealer or import service center. Same place has serviced it essentially for the past 12 years.

It has the correct coolant in the coolant reservoir. I paid for a PPI from Mercedes Benz of Fort Wayne and said the wire harness has some cracking on the insulation (:::GREAT::, small oil leak from the upper front cover, and the A/C coolant was "very" low. They also noted that its 75K service was due to be completed soon. Other than THAT, it's a great car.

How's the condition of the head gasket? I'm sure that once everything gets sorted out with the car and all the little odds and ends get put together, it will offer you years of happy motoring.

Make sure you care for that transmission and it will return the favor in the long run. Fluid and filter changes for the transmission at regular intervals are highly recommended.

There was no mention of the HG from the MB dealer tech. I'm counting on it always having the proper coolant in it since it is low mileage. Sometimes a guy just goes by his 'gut feelings' and that's what I have done with this! Just hope it doesn't come back and bite me!
