"At age 3, I even had the privilege of driving my parents 220SE through the kitchen of our home. I feel quite comfortable with these cars, and you will too!"

Such a beautiful car. Double glass in the doors? Never knew that!
Is this 3.5 liter also succeptable to the "rod bending" issues we hear so much about?
My indy mechanic's inlaws have one of those that he keeps up. He was rebuilding tranny a year and a half ago if memory serves......
He said they are truly nice cars, and that is a nice example.

is this new? or am I just missing out on ebay's changes?
As the internet evolves, eBay continues to strike a balance between preserving transparency and protecting our Community of members. eBay has decided to change how bid history information is displayed so bad guys cannot target bidders with fake offers using this information. In certain cases, some bidders will no longer be able to view Bidder User IDs on the Bid History page. Your User ID will be shown only to you and the seller of the item you're bidding on. Other members will see an anonymous name, such as Bidder 1, applied consistently to the Bid History page.
all bidders are now hidden???
this sucks...
John

Yeah my dad had an S420 for a little while. Super nice, smooth ride. The double-pane windows really made a big difference. Also had the "close the door for you" on all the doors.

Man that thing was one engine problem after another though, it was in the shop more than he drove it.
