I have a very low mile 94 sitting in the barn I got from Craig, which I used to
own then sold him and got it back. It hit a curb or something and did some
damage to the right side suspension. I am not sure if I will be able to fix it
as supposedly it bent the body where the control arm attached. I need to do
something with that car.

The 94 e420 continues to impress. Seriously quick with the 2.82 diff swap. A
real sleeper.
It has a faint knock once every 4 sec coming from somewhere poorly defined
under the body somewhere, and it did need a new throttle body and harness when
I got it, but other than that it is a great car.
The seats from these e420 and e400 cars are fantastic. You could get a grand
for them in good shape.

Here’s the CL ad:

I posted a link to current photos yesterday:

He had listed this on Benzworld a while back starting at $2k or thereabouts
with no takers. It’s had all the requisite 1993 vintage/M119 stuff done to it,
but needs a lower engine harness rebuild (easy for someone with basic soldering
and mechanical skills) and the ASR sorted out - also a fairly easy fix once
some troubleshooting can be done. Heck! if someone bought this and shipped me
the harness, I would rebuilt it for the cost of shipping. It’s easy if you’ve
got the stuff.
I’m out at this point. As stated by the time I have the purchase price and
shipping ($450) into it I’ll be upside down trying to get everything sorted, as
it has a bunch of minor things like rear window regulator and wonky antenna, to
name a few, that need to be addressed. My Martha tendencies would require that
I address it all, which would not make good fiscal sense in the long term.
This is a bad*ss car with a 4 liter M119 in it, and besides being surprisingly
frugal on fuel for a V8, it will blow the doors off of about anything else on
the street today.
I would bet if you walked up with $750/$800 right now he would take it. For
that and not having to pay to ship it somewhere you could have a real race car
for minimal $$$.

link? or was that just some random car you ran across? I could get the
daughter unit to take a look at it if you want, she'll be back up there
Thursday.
How low do you think the guy would go? I have a truck and a trailer... or just
catch a ride with her and drive it back...

I’m going to pass on this car. While I’m confident the ASR issues would be
easily resolved after researching them in detail, there are a lot of other
little niggly bit to be addressed that I fear would just add up to the point
where I would have too much money sunk into it for my satisfaction, especially
because I’m going to have nearly $1500 into it before I even crack the hood
with having to ship it home.
That is, I would Martha the p*ss out of it for more than its worth.
If anyone is interested, I think it would be a great project car that you could
get going for minimal $$$ if you’re not worried about it being perfect. If
anyone wants the contact info for the seller, let me know. CL has beaten him up
pretty badly, so I suspect if you were ready to walk up with cash in hand you
could even get it for less than the current $995 asking price.
