Re: EBay Finds
I had the use of it for a week once it was fixed to iron out any bugs. It did go and drive really well, and it was a bit of a head turner.
Swapping the auto trans on my own, car on axle stands and the box on a trolley jack. That was fun.
Of course, the alternator failed 2 days after I handed it back.

That's why German car makers tell you exactly that even when something self borks under warranty.
