[MBZ] Pretty clean looking E350 wagon

I like the color. Something other than the usual silver, white, or black. Looks like the right-hand headlight/foglight was replaced. W211 but not the first gen. Are these to be avoided? https://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/d/indianapolis-2007-mercedes-benz-e350/7204527341.html Allan

If your 5 or 7 speed starts out in 2nd and stays in 2nd, you're in limp home mode due to an electrical fault. Most common reasons for 722.6 5 speed are failed conductor plate ($100-200 plus removing the valve body) or connector ($10-20 plus getting messy). Either one probably requires a comput
