I hate to be the arbiter of…well, whatever, but I pretty much agree with everyone else. That and I wonder how practical this would be in North Hollywood. It’s not like it’s an S-class, but it’s still bigger than prior suggestions.

What’s book on the car? Got a VIN so someone can run a CarFax? These would be the questions I would be starting with. As for the dings, if a PDR guy can fix it, no biggie. They’re getting better and better with their work, I’ve seen some amazing stuff done by some in the last couple of years. -D > On Sep 25, 2023, at 2:31 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > SWMBO is right.
