Cruise and enjoy. 
I guess the first thing though is to get either a workshop manual or a set of CD's ( from ?Bay? or a US member of the forum) unless of course there's one with the 380? and then put her through a thorough "service" not forgetting to change the fuel filter (next to the fuel pump near the back axle).
As to the rest, well best to drive it first and see what ( if anything) is wrong.

I actually changed that filter this summer for the prior owner, so I know where it is.
I was hoping to get some info like I give to the diesel folks who ask, since that's my primary interest. Likje a list of typical problems, things that owners take for granted or fail to change.
I'm probably going to be asking one of the SL fuel injection gurus like Arthur Dalton a lot of questions as I attempt to find out how all the stuff works on the SL. Was hoping to find out more, but appreciate the welcome.
