shadowgriffen - Thanks for the complement and I will surely try to have the TE be a "looker" as well.

myfirstbenz - truly some nice wagons... and only if I had the funds to get one over here I would do it in a heart beat.

So what I'm currently considering is a '95 E320TE. I found one with a "Sportline" badging (front side fenders). Never knew they came out with a Sportline edition of the TE, unless the owner just slapped on the badge.

So how about it guys, can the AMG kit still be had? Thanks in advance.
Easy way to tell if it's truly a sport line

1. Vin #
2. Sportline models came with bucket seats for rear occupants (beside numerous supsension modifications), there should also be a nice shiny wood console seperating the rear seats.

shadowgriffen - I have the VIN # since I ran a Carfax. Any special codes to determine a Sportline?

*EDIT* - I checked out the car today and just fell in love with the car. So it seems that the owner just stuck the "Sport" sticker but the wagon comes with aftermarket springs and shocks. It also has a nice "agressive" stance with the 16x8 stock SL wheels. The owner is leaving for vacation so we will close the deal when he gets back at the end of Feb.

Here she is guys...

shadowgriffen - do you have the same wheels? I'm probably gonna keep these as the winter setup and go with an 18" setup for the summer. Maybe some Brabus Monoblock 3's (if I can find a set) or Monoblock V.
