That's stinky. Something's wrong there. The coupes are nice looking cars, and relatively rare in general. Looking at the picture it seems to be similar looking to my recent acquisition. So, is it worth $450 more than the 240D I just bought? Probably, but either car might be a money pit in disguise. Still, that's the big gamble with these things! (Cars, I mean.) Is a coupe the right car for you? A good question to have the answer to. No, if back seat activity is important. Not the best family car, in other words. Condition, condition, condition. If the thing will clean up acceptably, _everything_ else can be dealt with fairly cheaply DIY, with patience and care. -- Jim
