Check for rust.
If it has a aftermarket turbo fitted, I would pass. MB never turboed those
engines, hmmmnh wonder why?
Did I mention to check for rust?
If it is in good condition without a turbo then it is worth the money as
these cars have pretty much reached value bottom and are only going to go
up. The 4.5 is also desirable because it puts out a fair bit of grunt
without the bigger maintenance costs of the 6.3. Do you know anything about
the D-jetronic fuel injection system? I take it from what the seller wrote
that it is not running or running very badly.
Make sure you get under the car and check for rust.

How does this look...those of you familiar with this model.
I emailed the dude and he still has it. He says
"Yes I do. I just happened to be answering emails when yours came in.
Here is some additional info for those FAQ's. The MB does still have the
original tranny and engine with only 106,797 miles. It still has the
original interior upholstery and exterior paint, also. The engine does
need some minor work but the main things are a fuel pump and ignition
switch. We have a couple of people very interested but we will not hold
it, so, it is still available to the first buyer. It really is a nice
car. If you have any more questions, please call me."
What do yous guys think?
