Hi All,

I bought my '82 300D Turbodiesel in '03 with 250k miles on it for $2k. I invested about $1k, mainly on suspension rubber bushings, motor mounts, oil lines, new brake lining, drive shaft flex disc, an extra $500 on a half shaft that went out on the way to Las Vegas. Else, HE is the best of the best, just keeps purring.....@ 288k miles

I just bought a '95 E320 Wagon with 98k miles on it for $8200, plus taxes, fees, registration. The Acura dealer who had it taken in as a trade had listed $12,500 KBB asking $9,950. They made me work for a few hours. Eventually they agreed including fixing the driver seat which didn't move back properly. The car is a real nice 1 owner vehicle, extremely clean in and out (found after 2 years of looking).

I should mention, out here in Cali everything is priced more than anywhere else, over the top, so to speak. But then again, considering an out of state internet deal, unseen, plus flying there and/or transport cross country....

Unfortunately, the dealer failed to provide maintenance history/records. I have seen the carfax though, showing it being turned in regularly.

If anyone could help with a hint on how to obtain maintenance history through VIN# research..... I appreciate any input!

Thanks,
