Vehicle Detail
This is a great car that has it all! This 5-speed manual is nimble and fun to drive, yet seats 5 with excellent cargo space. A rare car with black leather Recaro seats, MOMO steering wheel and shifter, Cosworth 16-valve cylinder head with mechanical valve lifters, Getrag gearbox (dogleg), self-leveling adjustable height, now-famous multilink rear suspension and first year for catalytic converter. Just over 8,000 of these cars sold in 1985. Maintenance records to 1989; family-owned since 1998. This car has a few flaws for her nearly 30 years on the road, but is still in great shape. Everything works, including the a/c and cruise control. The hood looks like it was repainted at some point and there are a few minor dings in the car. The driver's seat leather is split at the seam but unnoticeable. There is a nick in the wood to the right of the shifter. This car is leisurely driven by a middle-aged gal. It's practically a sin to have some old chick driving this car. But, once upon a time it was owned by her big brother who knew and repaired Mercedes. He passed away a few years ago and the car was kept for sentimental reasons. Over the past 4 years or so, there were new tires, exhaust and exhaust manifold, ignition, clutch (slave and master cylinders), a/c condenser and wiring harness, plug wires, self-leveling rod, and a new dashboard. The timing chain was replaced. There are also some speaker or stereo wires running from the back seat into the trunk. I think my brother may have been hooking up a CD changer or something. I never removed the wires.
