Looks so purposeful. Just says “I was carved from a solid block of marble” to me.

Do you yell “Crikey, I’ve been rumbled!” and dive out of the nearest window when somebody figures out your plans?
....me neither

Always been one of my favorites. I’ve always imagined it would drive like a tank, but man, do I love those lines.

Better to buy one of these than one 15 years newer.

There’s no Mercedes past about 1995 that would remotely interest me.

I can go for late run 140s or 129s, and even 210s might be unfairly lamented, but the brand now seems to be “buy vintage or lease”.

That’s a nice one. The leather seats are the only negative thing that I can spot.

if the price stays low id say buy it, then take the rest of your car budget and buy something practical. what do these realistically go for?

I really like these, but it bothers me that you can never find them with manuals.

Should sell for about $9k . There is a beige one not far from here on sale for almost $10k.

If you haven’t seen it, Mercedes source is a good youtube channel - very informative.

I could make a really good argument that this was peak Mercedes. Wonderful cars.

Yep. There was a pretty incredible period from like ‘88-95, where the past and the future came together for a really fine present.

Drop what into it? A 6.0 AMG engine? The hammer coupe was a thing.

Who knows? More thought’s been given to outward appearance, suspension, and stance than engine, but it’s all just that— thought.

But wouldn’t that work against it being a sleeper? :)

Not if you do it right. :)
