Wow- great find. It just saddens me knowing my trusty TE is worth so little

1. Don't forget about flushing the SLS hydraulic fluid during your routine upkeep. The SLS system is not mentioned anywhere, moisture does get into that open system, and it's easy to change it.

2. My TE has always stalled on the first turn of the key for the 60K I've owned it. Cold engine, hot, whatever. It always starts the second turn.

3. The window regulator motors do burn out.

The cruise control module on these cars is not one of MB's better designs. Lucky you the AC is functioning!
