01' C320 FTW. I mean, it takes a lot more work to make an 01' to look good, lol.
So mini-update:
Took my car in to finally check out the CEL and transmission problem. Turns out that I have glycol contamination in my tranny, at 93xxx miles. Thank god I still have warranty, now I'm just hoping the other bits can be fixed! Mario at Walter's is a great SA, so people should go to him for their needs man

Yeah, sounds pretty crappy, doesn't it, lol. My tranny felt all bad, even after the flush and new O-ring. Getting out of first gear was terrible and it jerked like no other. I just thought that the previous owner would've gotten the the radiator replaced, but guess not. Still surprised it took 9 years and 93xxx miles to show signs.

Yea, had the same problem with my tranny. For the most early part of my car's life, its been in SF. With all the up and down hill slopes, the transmission was definately pushed and abused. Parking on slopes killed my parking brake which caused the locking mechanism on the tranny to deterioate and the first to second one way clutch got damaged as well, not to mention the clutches in the housing.. its a mess.
Lucky you still got warauntee
