Been wanting one for work,,,, but like the 540,,,, Im scared of the stealerships maint dept,,,,,im sure I cant do anything under the hood on those !!!

I checked with the Benz dealer before I bought it. Not much worse than any other car. Still tryin to decide if I want to buy the extended warranty. The dealer I bought it from changed the oil...took 9 quarts. Computer says 10K oil change interval. Don't think I'll go that long. Sh*t is expensive for it though. The dealer is buying me a spare to the tune of $473(onna those compact pump up type. A key at dealer cost is $234.

saw mark viii and had to check the thread. I had 2, a 94 and a 97. I'm looking at picking up another, but as a beater. DD'ing the tow vehicle sucks at $4.50 a gallon.

Nice benz!
