"Tweeters in the rear view mirror housing. " Really? Cool.

Cool because I just bought a '97 S320 , Dealer maintained with all records, local southern car , Black Opal Pearl Metallic , 106K miles, paid right at $12,000.

Headgasket done at 67K, lifetime trans fluid changed at 67K. I had written a long post about my thought process, but when I went to post it timed-out and I lost it. I don't have time to re-write the thing.

The car is a dream. I agree with the previous post. I can't really see many areas that are wildly more expensive than my 300E's.

The seats, oh the seats! Pneumatic lumbar, seat bottom adjusts in an out under your thighs. The double pane glass, quiet. Rain sensing wipers, two instead of 1. Interior room, huge trunk, self dimming mirrors, a glove box, a moonroof, nice projector head lights, great climate control, great sound system, cd changer in the trunk. On and on it goes.

I love this car.
