Awesome! Sounds like a great car!

My friend has the gas version of this car and he loves it.

Couple of notes:

You need jack adapters to use a floor jack or for a lift. Be careful of some Bozo at a tire shop, trying to lift the car to install the tires without them.

There are a couple versions of the brake system - sport and standard. These are not always documented through the VIN decode. You can tell just by looking at the front brake calipers. The sport version has large, gray calipers marked "Mercedes - Benz".

Contrary to popular belief, you CAN replace the brake pads yourself. The job is no harder than any other disk brake equipped vehicle. Just remember, the SBS may activate if someone opens one of the doors. If your fingers happen to be in the way, you get to experience the pressure the calipers exert on the rotors first "hand"...
