Thanks for the cabin filter info!

Yeah, I've thought about the radiator. The car is immaculate and clearly was well maintained. All the fluids looked new when I bought it. It is a 95 with about 178k and the radiator may very well be original. I don't know since I bought the car from a dealer w/o any service records. I've been keeping a close eye on it... The temperature gauge runs just slightly above 9:00 but I've chalked that up to a higher temp thermostat.

Did you replace the radiator yourself? I understand it isn't a bad job, but more difficult than on a 240. I did notice the other day that IPD wants $180 for one. Not too expensive. For ease and peace of mind I might change everything at once.
