Thanks for the advice, Chuck. It looks like the SL is heavier than my CE...by quite a bit. I wanted the 320 for the economy, and because I've had good luck with my M103 engine. Yeah, stuff wears out, don't we all know that about these things.

With your cautions, and one other item, I'm going to pass on this one. The person representing the seller said that I could only test drive the car if I gave them a copy of my driver's license and major credit card. With all the cc fraud going on these days, no way and I going to give someone I don't know my credit card.

She responded back saying that she totally understood, but the seller is a business owner and is approaching the transaction from that viewpoint. She is going to get back to him to find out what he says. Still, what happened to trust in our society? It's a car...there are license plates and VIN numbers.

Oh well, not really the color I want anyway. Thanks again.
