Thank you everyone for sharing your experience.

The weight distribution of my 400E is not as good as I-6 W124s, I already put on Michelin Arctic Alpines on it, it still has tendency to slide rear tires in turns, luckily it has a very tall gear, 1:2.24 differential makes me feel I always start in 2nd gear, so it doesn't break traction easily.

I was truly amazed by the condition of this Mercedes when I bought this 400E, my other car is a 96 Ford explorer, it has rust all over the places underneath, I can see rust peeling from the frame, also the door panels show some serious rust from the edge.

I am going to move my Mercedes out of the heated garage and park it outdoor.
