Thanks for all the advice so far. This appears to be a very helpful forum!

Suggest you drive a six and a V8. If the 3.0 is peppy enough, following the suggested method to minimize your risk, that would certainly expand the universe. It would be far more likely that you could find a private sale by the original owner that you could talk to directly.

I am local with a 4.4 that I just brought up to snuff. We could get coffee and I could show you what you are looking at. I love my E53!!!
