Well, I really miss the 90 300D I sold OK Don AND it was a better car than this
92. It had fewer miles and didn't burn oil!

Yup - both of trhem are fine cars! I think the 92 actually leaks more oil
than it burns - from the front crankshaft seal, and perhaps the injection
pump o-ring. The rest of the engine is dry and clean.

well at 300 whatever K, you cant blame it for burning a little oil.
Heck, it might be leaking more than burning, I cant remember if it was
leaking anything when I had it.

Does the 1994/95 'facelifted' trunk on the 124 look any better to
you? I think it looks a LOT nicer than the 1986-93 versions. Note that
I'm not sure. The offense to my eye is the 'low-entry' trunk
style, especially when coupled with the angled rear opening
and the associated cat's-eye
I personally think the 124 has one of the best-executed automotive
gluteus maximi ever. In the words of Victoria's Secret, very sexy.

The offense to my eye is the 'low-entry' trunk
style, especially when coupled with the angled rear opening
and the associated cat's-eye taillights. And right now nearly
_everything_ is that way. Ugh.
The trapezoidal opening and matching lights are the first thing I
noticed when I first saw
In fact, I happen to think (and I'm sure Jim will disagree strenously
here), that straight-across trunk lids, especially those with
pronounced curved edges leading down from the decklid to the seal (as
on a BMW 2002), look silly. Like the car is pulling a pirate's
treasure chest on a trailer.
cool, did you get a good deal?
