Hi Curt,
I run a residential facility here in CT. I have had a car donation
fundraising program for the past several years. A couple of years
ago someone donated a grey market 230E, cant remember if it was an
1983 or 1984. (I am gonna check my records at work tomorrow, it may
have been a 230CE.) It was a W123 chassis, however, in need of
restoration. I only had it on hand for a short time before selling
to some gearhead immigrants from western CT. Since it was an
unregistered vehicle, and badly in need of a tuneup, we had no real
idea of the power and economy. It was a neat car, though, with a
carbureted gasoline engine in the w123 chassis.
FWIW, wikipedia has some info on it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_W123
I am curious if that is the same car that Dwight saw. The one I had
was white with a blue cloth interior.

Anybody know anything about an '84 230E?
Dwight's found one. Grey market car, 5spd (supposedly anyway) trans.
Seller wants $1000 but says it needs ball joints ("Ball joints you
say?"
Sucks on teeth "Jeez, that could run into money. What do you think
about
$800 for this jalopy?") but has had other front end work done already.
What kind of mileage could one expect? How much power?
