Grand touring, so not a sports car, but a joy to drive. I compare it to the OM606 w124, an almost sporty sedan with restrained power. New seats makes for easy two tank trips (450-500 mile) with no saddle soreness. Soft top is expensive to renew, so that is a large plus. Both indicate to me

Do the same in depth scrutiny you would give any other benz of that age. There could be rust in footwells below carpet and under the parcel shelf. The cars are an amalgamation of w114/116 for the most part, but the 380 might have upgrades out of the 126 bin. An 85 should be pretty bullet

Top-down around-the-lake cruising you can hit 20mpg. That's the best you can hope for on these. Single-row chain disappeared in '83, that's the crossover year. An '85 will be fine. Valve stem seals could be an issue, but those are DIY replaceable. Annoying, but not that difficult or expensive.
