so i'm thinking this has to be worth 800$..

It has some issues like the air not working and pinging/nailing. It doesn't look like fuel filters have been changed in a long time and it needs all fluids changed etc. body is straight for the most part. has light damage to left rear qp. rear deck lid clear coat is beginning to peel. no rust and transmission shifts. interior is ok and it has 202k showing. thoughts?

For $800, go for it. Of course, if you can talk the seller down lower, do so.

Is that an E or a D behind the 300 on the trunk lid?

Where in Mississippi do you live?

Geezus H. Khrist, for $800.00 BUY IT before the seller changes his or her mind! I'd give an easy grand for it, provided it ran well, checked out during my inspection, and I wanted it.

There's nothing more expensive than a cheap Mercedes-Benz.

just as easy as a 126 to work on. I know where a 2.5 124 sits not running and with a little bit of rust for $800..... Go for it.

Easy way to see is to look for vents behind the passenger corner light.

Not to mention the "2.5 Turbo" on the trunk in the pic
