Hi all L322 'ers,
I have been reading your comments about all and sundry and have finally bought one (a 2002 td6 HSE) which requires a LHF door and strut. I had waited to find one and passed over many more expensive ones which had done alot of work.
It was on ebay and at a tad over $20K I was willing to pay for the door replacement. I have, so far, a healthy budget left over for any other repairs neccessary as they crop up but was reliably told that the car does not need anything as all services are dealer and up to date. I would like a front bar and I'll look for one shortly.
Regards and thanks to all who post....
