Gurus:

Looked at a gorgeous 85 300D today, he says 4500 bottom line. An awful lot of work has been done: new paint, injectors, strng box, trannie rebuilt 215K, AC redone completely, all things seem to work, very pretty car. Owner used to work for Benz and got the work cheaply. Almost everything done including New Dash, not a cover.

My question: 260K miles, has leaky rear injector which will be redone this week, they were just done. Runs great, but I noticed on the sides of the hood, there was a fair amount of blow by residue. He says 1 qt burned per 3K miles, has a little ticking noise I think might be injector related that I don't hear on my 300SD.

It's the cleanest I've ever seen and I'm a nitpicker. Would anyone be afraid of the mileage assuming it passes compression test?
