I made a 2 hour round trip drive to see/purchase the car only to find out it is a 4 speed manual, not a 5 speed! The guy says, "Oh, it is a 4 speed. I thought it was a 5 speed". What a disappointment. I was going to put the transmission in my 300SD.

sucks about the drive, its always a risk buying from afar. I am looking at a car right now on ebay and asked the guy to send pics of the rear floors and if the carpet is wet. He says its not wet but it hasnt been raining so he is not sure. HUHHH, all of FLA has been unundated for 3 weeks, how can he say its not raining in rainy season. Its enough to scare me away from what otherwise looked like a decent deal.
