Here you go. Probably a pretty good car seeing as how it is at a dealer.

CDI

A couple of things. Don't get one from anywhere where roads are salted and plan on replacing ball joints between 125 and 170k miles.

The good thing about the 06 model is that you have a couple more years before 10 year warranty on SBC module times out. I think it runs about $1700 at the dealer if out of warranty. Or better yet find a 05 model that has already had it replaced.

how much are ball joints? How can I tell if the sbc has been done? If not do I take it to the dealer and say what? I'm looking at a 05 now which looks nice. 143K. 12 grand. if this car falls thru is your wagon for sale?

Wagon ain't for sale. Wife likes it alot (moved her out of the 95 E300 into it).

If you are talking to private owner ask them if it has been changed out and ask to see the receipt. Not sure you can get dealer to run vin and get the info and I have not looked close enough to the one that got changed out on the wagon to see if it is dated. I will try to remember to take a look.

Isn't much to changing ball joints on these models. I get an hour for it.
