Many parts are specific to the US market...Fastlane, which

sponsors this forum, and a number of other Mercedes parts specialists online should do just as well for you. Although you contemplate purchase of a somewhat complex vehicle, I believe an '87 will be largely pre-computer, thus eliminating the built-in problems with electronics that come with all "newer" cars.

I recommend that anyone contemplating a Mercedes purchase find a copy of "The Mercedes-Benz Buyers Guide" by Frank Barrett...now out of print, but copies can still be found for well under $20...TONS of info on what to look for AND look out for.

You may also want to wait and find out more about the cars in general...maybe get together with some people near you who post on this board...I'd also urge you to consider a diesel, but that's my prejudice.

Best of luck
