`    re the Cruze, Thanks for the offer.  But i will pass.

    I am now committed to the 06 E350 AWD.  It appears to be maxed out with options - lumbar adj, heated seats, c changer in trunk, Harmon Karden Stereo, etc. And everything works!  I found an owners manual on the MB website (over 500 pages!) and as luck will have it, I found in my "Library" of MB lit picked up over the years at the dealer - a large format sales brochure for the 2006 E Class.  I also have an 06 S Class brochure i asked for in a moment of lusting for extreme luxury ;-)

    All very interesting stuff as I like to gather as much research material on my cars as possible.  I plan to pick the car up Monday - the owners is going to have the car detailed today and also get a fresh Va State Inspection.   The owner had a recent tuneup and has he receipt which i will get.  I guess the thing a gasser has going for it is all the ignition components that used to require regular maint now last 100K instead of 10 or 15K.  Also had the 4 axles replaced.

One thing - the Battery light was on in the speedo - he said there are 2 batteries - one for the optional equip and another for the engine.  The light is on because he replaced the battery for the optional equipment and the dealer needs to reset the "replace battery " light so it updates the battery to the optional equip. I visualize it's like when the battery is disconnected for a while and the radio must be reset.  Anyway, he's going to take care of it as well.

Hopefully by Monday afternoon my wife will have a newer car to go places.

Thanks for all the help guys  -  I hope to be walking without a walker (at least I'm 100% out of the wheelchair)  and driving a diesel MB again one day soon.

Merry Christmas!

Larry
