The last three miles of my
daily drive the next 26 weeks is up the steepest state maintained road in NC
(In low gear and steady speed around 20mpg I'm sitting on about 3000 rpm for
about 9 minutes). That would probably be ideal conditions to do some engine
damage.
That would probably be
The only time this would damage anything is if you have a bad
injector. That could burn out a prechamber. Else it's fine -- make

Peter, it's on this routine that I've learned where the gauges seem happy.
There's one section that the car wants to cross the 80C mark. It's when I

There are many pros, no cons I can think of. They are probably the best
cars MB ever made. Mine gets 33mpg, has plenty of power, drives very
nice, no problems. If it really has 45k on it I would figure it would
sell for 8k plus.

When mine bends the rods, which it could have, who knows, I plan on
either dropping in the 3.5 I have sitting in the garage, or dropping a
606 turbo in it.

Yes, it was fixed after production of the cars ended. If it has a recent
factory replacement engine it should be fine.

I used to have one of these (although it was a 1990); I sold it to Ok Don. I
would really like another if that is any indication how good I think they are.
Mine had 245,000 when I sold to Don. I think it
The shark gills in the right front fender are the coolest, too. They

Before I call and go to look at the vehicle, what are the listers experiences
with this vehicle. Pluses and minuses? I recall lots of past discussions
about the 2.5 but have not really followed them.
Price
$500.
Seriously anywhere from 5k on up. That kind of low mileage is a dream.
Engine is pretty solid as it is like 3rd generation. Minuses? Stinking
plastic bumpers, we dont need no stinking plastic bumpers, chrome is KING!
