Captain,
I'm sure that you know this, but be sure to see the VMI before you buy the car, it contains all sorts of information about the car and service history. I'm currently looking for a 94-95, or 97 E420 with the factory "Sportline" suspension, and I won't even arrange for a test drive if the owner is not willing to Fax me a copy of the VMI for 2 reasons: 1. I need to see the "Sportline" listed under the options because everyone seems to be advertising their E420's as "Special Editions", and 2. to make sure there is nothing out of the ordinary in the service history. Good luck, and if you make the switch from diesel, I hope that you consider an E420, in my opinion its got it all.
