The interior looks pretty trashed to me and I'd stay away from it. If it's originally a German car shouldn't the headlights be Euro and the speedometer only in kilometers or was the owner required to change everything to make it look like a US car?

I think those are Euros. There were 2 or 3 different Euro lights, most people like the rectangular ones. This car even has the Euro corner lights. The Euros on this car has clear fog lights instead of the yellow ones.
Thanks
David

Went to look at the car today. Looks like a pretty good deal - see the details and some more photos in the cars section.

According to what he posted at the URL listed in the eBay ad, he'll take "$$1500 or best (and quickest) offer."

So this car is essentially a manual 240D with an extra cylinder, right? Are there any other differences?

David, I think there are two types of W123 Euro headlights. One is the rectangular type that the 300 series have, the other is round and similar to the US lights, but slightly different. This car has the US lights.
