Found an unusual amount of old German cars during my morning CL browsing today.

I think I would take the Bimmer. The Benz could be a fun project, though. The Audi? Probably wouldn't touch it.
EDIT: The Benz and the Audi appear to be the same seller. Interesting.

All three are really scary, but probably all worth it.

I love the styling on any older Benz. That's the obvious choice for me.

the Audi is the best one of the bunch. Those E12 BMWs had head cracking and overheating in traffic issues, and there is no way that is a 528 and made in '74. I had a 78 530i (that I put a 535I motor and tranny in due to overheating) and the 28 didnt come till later. So you are buying a classic from someone who doesnt know anything about what they have. Those benzes are solid, but very boring. A 4K CS quattro for 2300 is a stout deal.

*eyes widen* that's a 4000...caaa-lick
EDIT: his brief all-caps summary kinda had me worried about every possible electronic or mechanical train wreck hiding just under the surface of this Audi era. "KINDA ROUGH SUPER WINTER BEATER HOOPTY!"
This is stuff important because I'm trying to replace my 03 camry commuter with another malaise era Audi...so a classic Audi. I miss their character.

Yeah despite my previous concerns I emailed him anyway hah! The joy of a 4000 in the winter is not unlike an e30 in the summer. Also when you find one that's "all together" you should probably just f*cking buy it and enjoy its low power handling until something breaks and you find an even bigger enthusiast to take it off your hands.
