I've changed the hood pad, seat springs, and buff and wax. Planning to change tranny fluid to Mobil-1 syn, although the fluid looks good. Shocks, brake pads, and antenna mast are on the list too. Enjoy your car, I sure will. I sold my '87 560 SEL for this car, no regrets yet.

Wow, you drove a 19 year old car 820 miles right after buying it?
Braver than me. Glad you made it.
How did you find it?
Was this an EBay or Craigslist purchase?

How NOT to buy a MB Diesel:
Know little or nothing about diesels or Mercedes Benz.
Get the WVO fever.
Drive 70 miles to a used car lot in the country.
Buy the car without having it inspected, because it seems like a good idea at the time....
I'll be back. I'm gonna need help.
I love this car already!
