Considering a W114 280
Hey all, longtime Pelicanite, but this is my first post in the M-B forums. I'm looking at a really clean 280 sedan that appears to be well cared for. My main concern is the Pierburg carb. How reliable are these? I plan to daily drive this car 9 months out of the year. Nothing crazy, just 28 miles round trip to work, mostly rural and small town roads. Also getting groceries, hardware store, etc. I'm not afraid of wrenching on an old car. I've got a '74 and an '80 Porsche, and a Silverado to drive in the winter. But those are at least FI. In fact, I haven't owned a carbed car since the late 80s. Is it realistic to think a W114 could make a viable daily driver?
