Thanks for the replys.

I looked at a 190 2.6 today. They are quite nice. Seemed to be better than my W123, and I really like the seats.

What would cause the car to bog on hard acceleration? With a certain amount of throttle, it would take off pretty well, but if I gave it too much gas it would fall flat on its face. Maybe just a tune up or sensor?

The engine ticked on startup but quickly quieted down. The serpentine belt also made alot of noise but became quiet after a minute or two. Theres some more noise from the front of the engine though, maybe the belt or waterpump. It needs a drivers side interior door panel. Any idea how much they run? The A/C cycled, but didn't get cold. Maybe just a charge.

I'm most concerned about the bogging. If someone could comment on that it would be appreciated. I doubt its anything major. Also, is it typical for these cars to tick on startup and not need headwork? No smoke on startup.

Thanks
