It would basically be a tiny bit of body work, removing little creases and dings here and there, paint and an interior refresh, window and door moldings, etc. It's mechanically very sound according to my indy.
This isn't a sales ad. Any opinions?

I'd possibly be interested in a W123 240D with a manual like yours to round out my car family...

What color is yours, if it is a euro does it have euro bumpers and headlights, MB tex, leather or cloth seats? Sunroof or Air con? What color is it? these cars are more rust prone but you are in Southern Arizona aren't you?

for a reasonable price in a month or two I might be interested in this if you are going to get rid of it (fly in, drive home) I do know Tucson, Mt, Lemmon, Ajo, Nogales AZ and Nogales Mexico and green valley ok, used to go there all the time when I had a home in San Francisco for a break from the eternal fog in SF before I got married......

Id promise it a loving home too. Washed every few days and waxed regularly and kept detailed.

Here is where it would live, with these vehicular brethren: I hope it has AC that eworksd, you ned it up here in the summer).
