So, I am heading down that way to buy this car.
 It's an 83 500sec euro, with some AMG bits, won't know till I get there. Bringing with me some basic tools and a new fuel pump relay. So I am curious if there are any area teener owners who may want to meet up or could offer assistance should it become necessary. I think it's a safe bet that there's some Mercedes fans among us. I could Pm my mobile number as a just in case down the way. Planning to travel 95s to 85s, like I said, between DC and Atlanta. Worst case, could meet up and grab a beer tonight...talk some shop. |

Long story short, I ran. The old man who had it let the poor thing rot to death. Now I know my Mercs, but this one was past it. Not from abuse as the body was straight and all the work done mechanically was sound. But from just sitting there for what was supposed to be 8 months turned out to be 4 years once I got him talking back on himself.
What's that that we say? Buy the best one that you can afford. That is THE best advise any of us should follow. |
