I’ve got an 85 Mercedes wagon that I just won’t have time to get to. It’s a good runner, and has 175k or so I drove it back from CT without issue… mostly everything works, and the engine is tight and does not smoke or make any unusual noises.
I have a pretty decent service history for the car, and with a little work could last another 20 years
the good-
-dash is crack free-
-engine/trans is very tight
-well maintained
-Self leveling rear suspension works
The car will need some work like I said-
-its got some rust issues- mainly around the rear wheel wells and rockers. the frame and underside is pretty solid, and the body parts are available for about 250-300$ (I’ve sourced them all)
-it will need tires ASAP
-the brakes are just a little weak. may need to be bled, or the calipers in the rear may be sticking, not sure.
all and all, a good car, I just won’t have time to get to it.
