Well, drove up to see the Sarasota unit and came back with it, 1995 E320.... happy camper... what a difference in ride. Drove up in g/f's Focus, then left that there and drove back in the W124... smooth ride down and no hitches..

Thanks to all who I got info from and offered helpful tidbits, none that I know personally, but via direct response to me or by reading your posts in archive during the last two years, I think it helped making the right choice in purchase.

Happy camper..... Just need to get some rug mats so I don't mess up the rug
