Re: [MBZ] Velour Wagon

Yes I'd prefer the 1985 over earlier wagons also. Lower first gear, faster off the line. Supposedly more fragile but I never had any problems with it. Parts for all these cars are getting hard to find. I have yet to run into a part that is uniquely hard to find due to the 85 model year. The sls he

Re: [MBZ] Velour Wagon

All of the 1985 123 models have superbly refined transmissions plus refined tachometers that operate without the screw-in under-dash doohickey (amplifier?). My CA version 1985 wagon has the same transmission as the 190E, not sure why. On Wed, Aug 10, 2016 at 6:42 PM, fmiser via Mercedes wrote:

Re: [MBZ] Velour Wagon

I can not get any attention for the 85 SL either. Most people drank the Kool Aid that the 380 is a time bomb. There are good points for that engine, as long as it has been upgraded to safer. Just as the Rodbenders are great cars once the engines are made good clay > On Aug 10, 2016, at 11:3

Re: [MBZ] Velour Wagon

This always surprised me that people would avoid a 85... It's the most refined model with superior transmission and throttle response. I'd rather have one over an earlier car. Jaime On Wednesday, August 10, 2016, fmiser via Mercedes wrote: > > Jaime wrote: > > > > This is really cool: > > htt

It is a fairly nice looking car, might be able to chisel on that price a bit and it would be an OK deal (not Kleb territory but OK, no wait, not OK, the rest of the country). --FT On 8/10/16 8:21 AM, Jaime Kopchinski via Mercedes wrote: This is really cool: http://cnj.craigslist.org/cto/5701

Those were fairly common in 123s. At that time, MBNA let dealers and (gasp) even buyers spec cars to some extent. MBNA spec cars had the power sunroof, as it added to the stealer commission more. Meade Dillon via Mercedes August 10, 2016 at 8:46 AM What about t

Re: [MBZ] Velour Wagon

The ACC III lends credence to Jaime's theory it was a US car. Pretty unusual to have velour if it was a US car. VIN should tell the truth. If it has a WDB gobbeldygook number, it is US. If if is 123,xxx,12.xx, it is a Euro. Jaime Kopchinski via Mercedes

Re: [MBZ] Velour Wagon

This is almost certainly a US spec car. Nothing on the car appears to be for another market. Velour was available as a special order option in the US, it's just very rare. Jaime On Wednesday, August 10, 2016, Meade Dillon via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > I'd say that price is abo

I'd say that price is about right, if the engine compartment really has a turbo-diesel engine. Many have mistaken the TD to mean that. No VIN or pix of the engine bay.A link to a video with a cold-engine start to demonstrate the health of the engine would be nice, as would a video of a 0-60 r
