I recently got an SDL and am in love.
The engines prior to this model were the indestructable all cast iron models.
The SDL has an aluminum head, which can warp or crack if overheated.
You will want to ask questions about that.
I'm not sure what the indications might be? Perhaps oil in the cooling system,
or vice versa?
Another thing to ask about is the A/C, as I believe it can be expensive to replace.
How is the leather? Is the dash cracked? Got any photos? How many miles?
I paid $5000 for mine.
If you can find one that is clean, with low miles (under 150K),
it might be cheaper in the long run, to pay 7 or 8 thousand,
than to get something that might have been neglected mechanically,
requiring you to spend 3 or 4 thousand in repairs and still leaving you with a car that's a bit ratty.
Good luck.
