!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! has been floating around Maryland for over a year now, and every few months it pops back up on my Baltimore CL to torment my soul. This uncommon example has something hard to find in most Mercedes - a floor-mounted manual shifter.

I know the car has more rust than the ad lets on, and a lot of the wood trim inside the cabin needs replaced, but god damn does this thing tempt me.

“drives well” - Pictured both rolling off of a flatbed, and in a shop, not a promising sign. Better buy it to make sure.

Also is it my imagination or is the front bumper closer to the body on the passenger side than the driver side?

These are great cars, but that money will nearly buy you one without big rust problems in CA.

This generation of MB haunts me on CL too.

This car has been for sale forever. I went and looked at it in the spring of 2014. This ad is total bs. The floor is totally rusted out. He used to post the ad with pictures of the rust, but I guess he isn’t now.

So everything in that ad tells me it has been hit in the front, has rust, does not run, and is so cool. I like it.
