Would you consider paying up for an Arizona rust free sun yellow 116 diesel that looks great, runs great, and has had many, many things rebuilt or replaced over the 20 years that I have had it. It should travel well with no additional work but who knows! I think it is worth $4500. The engine has about 20,000 miles on a serious rebuild that should run for a long time. I have receipts for new parts and machine work totaling over $2700, I did all the labor. Same with the AC, the driveshaft, motor mounts, etc., etc, etc. The palomino gold interior looks really good and the seats have been removed and renovated, with new horsehair pads in back. Front and back bumper skins and rubber replaced, new headlight surrounds (with spare Euro headlights. The 100 watt US headlights may be the best you will have ever seen and I can't justify changing to the Euros). No trailer hitch though! And it is not clear if you were thinking diesel power. I am getting past the point where I can keep maintaining my fleet, and must consider parting with my baby. You would be first in line.

A little slow off the line (my 190D 2.0, 5 spd is slow and a 124 weights about 400 pounds more). A quick check shows it only about a second slower than my 190D 2.0. and about 4 seconds faster than a 240D. Fuel economy can reach 40 mpg (if you keep speeds below 60-65).
