Thanks for the reply I was looking for-all cars have problems, Honda & mazda trannys, etc.

Knowing what you're up against ahead of time, unlike in marriage, is always emboldening.

And another q: I see 'sat' & 'nav' on the dash screen but this dealer doesn't know if this had nav-nothing happens when pushed and it's not on the monroney sticker. Was it standard on the e500 or an opiton with just empty buttons?

OK, the stealer said he searched the trunk and found no nav unit-was nav an option or standard of 500s? And if no nav, why would they taunt the owner with nav buttons on the dash screen?

It was an option. All cars with the "COMAND" head units all had the same face/buttons on them because the peripherals were not in the head unit but in the trunk. That way, they could use 1 head unit across all the E's.

So this car is a stripper just about-with taunting nav buttons no less. 33k miles sure is appealing though as most wagons gut driven.

Unhappy 2005 E 500 oil sensor replacement

Help anyone, I removed all the bolts on the bottom of the oil pan in an attempt to replace the sensor but the bottom will not come off, am I missing a bolt somewhere? Don't want to pry too hard, but this is still on solidly.
