Given the choice I wanted 96 or later, but this was a really good deal and a
super nice car, so I compromised. The likelihood of finding something as nice
with a well documented past in a reasonable period of time was pretty slim
based on my earlier searches this year, so I went for it.

I had considered trying to sell it on CL “as-is”, but between the need for work
and the salvage title, I doubt that I’ll get any takers. I would expect to

If it still has the original radios, speakers and amp I would be interested in
those maybe. What color is the interior? I would probably take the sun visors

You’re talking about a lot of speakers, as this has a factory Bose system. All

Oh one other note, 61x engines don't get the full advantage of synthetic oil
because they'll tend to hit 2% soot load (MB's measure for when the oil needs
changing) before you can really extend the change interval all that much.
Such is not true with 60x engines. Last I tested the oil in my '85
Regardless of claims that the 0W-40 and the 15W-40 are the same when hot, my
experience is that the engine was much noisier when hot when I tried the 0W-40
in my OM-617, it just sounded like the oil was thinner. Idle pressure was a
bit lower too, compared to 15W-40.
I like the 5W-40 also, but
I meant 5W-40 where I wrote 15W-40 in the first paragraph below.

Leaking lines can cause clacking injectors, but it's more likely that
the lifters are flat (overhead cam with bucket style hydraulic
tappets). An oil change with new o-rings on the center bolt will
cure that. If the injection lines are bad, get some made up at an
