Thanks Doug!
The car is on a used car lot...kinda why I'm really nervous about taking anything they say to heart.
The car does have good acceleration at about 2000rpm...suppose when the turbo kicks in.
Can take pics this weekend. They are asking $3995 but can get for $3000.
I agree with you on the tests, trouble is that I moved here 3 months ago and don't really know of others shops equipped to support MB...I'm sure the shop that has maintained the car in the past would not give me bad info just to get business??
