Interesting. I'll look through the W124 CDROM and see if I can find out what that would be in the sedan.

I'm not interested in the car, since I've already GOT more cars than needed.

So, I'll just offer observations:

1) How does a car with 313K on the clock not show any rock chips on the hood?

This implies a possible repaint, or 313K stop-and-go city miles?

2) Are the wheels stock for this year? They appear to be sticking out a little further than stock.

3) The crossover pipe from the turbo to the intake manifold has a black smear (leak) at the right joint. Actually, the left joint too. Obviously the EGR system is still passing exhaust into the intake. So I wonder if this is diesel or oil?

4) CarFax shows the car just went through the New England Regional Auto Auction - so you need to decide if you think that means anything to you.

Say, did'ya notice the $26,500 Mercedes W123 for sale:
