I think a good SDL with nothing wrong would bring 10K, so it is probably about even value. (understanding the buyers for a perfect SDL are limited in number) Probably easier to sell the W220. Another way to look at it is: AN SDL that good for $6000 is a steal. Given a choice, I'd take the

The extension of the driveway has passed the 28 day mark, so it’s considered cured. I was thinking about sealing it with something, basically to keep nasty stuff out like grease and oil. No risk of freezing down here, so that’s not an issue. Research I have done indicates that Thompson’s has
