I recently purchased a 1992 240gl with a 5spd manual back in sept. A TRUE 5 spd. One owner, a longtime friend of my parents. He was a delta pilot. Its the same guy I bought my first w123 from in 2000 and then sold to diesel don late 2001. Don loved that car so much by the end he had 6 or 7 before leaving the forum and switching to TDIs.
anyways it had 167k silver with blue interior. manual sunroof. just a lovely all service records, 1 small fender bender, 1 true owner car. Bought it for $1000. A/c was toast. and it did not have cruise. I loved this car! and I had been after it for years. But after 3 days of driving my bum knee said NO! I mean I was in dire pain by the time I would get home from work. It was only in my possession 4 days. CL ad for $2500 and it was gone same day I listed it.
anyway where the hell was i going with this tale...oh The old ones are the best! I had a 96 850 turbo wagon that was TUNED and it shredded the front tires. But what a junky rattle trap. Everything was broken on the inside and what wasnt broken made a noise.
