Test Driving Today.

Well guys, I was in Greenville NC today on business, and had a few hours to kill, so I decided to drop by a used car guy, and see what he had. I drove a 95 S420 (ugly purple-blue color), 115k, cold AC, but had a leaky power steering pump, rode hard, seats seemed hard and stiff, and I didn't really like the car. The coolant level light came on while driving, but the temp gauge was ok. On the other hand, I drove a 97 E420 (nice, clean silver), 140k, rode good, drove great (like driving a 4 door vette), cold cold air, easy to operate car. The only problem is that the check engine light came on, and on the display it said "Check Engine- Electronics". It also seemed to have a slight miss at idle. The guy said 8k for either one, and that he'd have the cel and the coolant lights taken care of. No books or records on either.

Thoughts, Guys?

Dave.
