would make a nice car. excellent engine with the dual chain, simple electronics, no computers, no abs, an excellent ride and good handling, not rust prone and pretty easy to work on.

the acc is the most trouble prone part, and they are better than many other similar aged benz models.

reasonable prices too. look for a clean one. can get pretty nice one for $5k i suspect.

i think the 85s are pretty much the same.
