Amazing !

Just last thursday I looked at a Canadian W-123 230CE , it was a 1984 model with A.B.S. and had been federalized and had compliance stickers from California on it .

Automatic and he said it shifted really hard .

It ran O.K. and only the lights & wipers worked , all the rest of the electrics were dead horn,windows , sun roof , heater AC & radio etc.)

The seller came down to $1,200.00 right away .

It was the same color and also had new paint (cheap) and a light blue , bagged original cloth interior .

I prolly shoulda bought it but it ran poorly @ idle (CIS) and I was concerned it would be too slow for the L.A. freeways .

My Persian mechanic buddy who _hates_ German cars , heard of it to-day and says I shoulda bought it .
