Well, it seems my moms heart is set on the SDL. I think I'll still try to direct her to the SD. I'm sure the SDL is a wonderful car, I just think the SD is more practical and no slouch at that.

So do you guys think the OM603 will last the long haul? Another 20 years or so.
I'm worried about that aluminum head and intricate electronics. Moms not rich.
The car she is looking at has 80,000 miles and has been meticulously maintained. So they say.

Thanks again!
Josh
