Steve, The 740 is also a great car. Volvo even manufactured a 740 diesel for a while. The engine had two timimg belts!

I don't know about the 850,s but they have their list and are a helpful group. You may want to sign up and ask there. Steve -----Original Message----- From: L.

They're good, solid cars, parts are plentiful and cheap, and they're relatively easy to work on. --mf _______________________________________ For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net ___________________________________________________ Try the New Netscape Mail Today!
