Now, now - it's not that bad.

I have 43,000 on my R320 and have only done the scheduled maintenance. My car has been great and I'm glad I have it.

My recommendation to you, make sure the maintenance has been done. If not, then take it in for the basic maintenance. (My cost for the 10/20/30,000 mile scheduled maintenance never went above $160.00) After that, inspect the tires for tread wear and then enjoy the heck out of your car. They are great!

Be warned - my 40,000 service cost $1,100 because they take the "break in" fluid out of the transmission and put in synthetic tranny fluid. It's a one hit, but it's still a hit.

Do you guys have a link to any online workshop manuals and service timeliness?

Thanks
