Thank you - have not bought the car, but it is on ebay - in fact, never bought a car via ebay cause I am a bit picky about condition ... this one just topped $9K, though - had a couple of issues the seller is very specific about calling out so, with the 100% rating, might be worth the risk.

There are enough of the 4matic wagons around that I probably don't have to settle - have always been willing to pay a bit more for a nice used car - so, have pretty open field.

Thanks, again!
