TAllison,

Thanks for the reply.
The production delivery date according to a VIN search on the Russian Benz site is September 2007.
I've read about the frequent electrical issues with blown bulbs in the 210's. Was that for any particular years?
Can the clouded plastic headlight lenses be polished back to clarity?
Why was the 722.625 trany only used in the 1997 E420?
I noticed a couple of minor rust areas . One bubble under the left headlight lens and a area of rust on the hood under the grill . Multiple stone nicks are evident upon close observation around the front of the grill.
It looks like normal body wear and tear for a not garaged 11 year old New England car.
