By golly, that IS a good looking car. I bought a 99 two months ago, 2 owners, 65,000 miles. Unfortunately, the prior owners never had the steering tilt fixed. I am on the hook for that one. I did get all the manuals, though. Haven't checked with a dealer yet. You guys are scaring me with Mercedes maintenancve prices. Fortunatley, I am a pretty good amateur mechanic.
Congrats, and good luck!!!
