No affiliation, etc, etc.
Euro bumpers, stick, 4cyl gas, euro tails I think? Kinda neat.
Somebody buy it.

I forwarded that to a friend who's been looking for a 280TE; thanks for the heads up.

That's correct. I had the exact same car except mine wasn't a wagon. Good vehicle. Cruises quite a bit faster than a 240D

A four cylinder gas engine doesn't seem like it would be enough to pull that car.

It is more than sufficient. It has more power than a 240D. Remember. Most of the rest of the world found four cylinder Mercedes perfectly acceptable. It's only the USA that requires larger engines for some reason.

Thought it was neat looking, if anyone local buys it I'd love to see it sometime.

I drove a 230E sedan, W123, and the 4 banger had plenty of power to move the car. I would say more so than an NA OM617 {just from feel}.

Indeed. The 200 is noticably less zippy than the 230E but certainly adequate unless you are a boy racer type.

Heard its sold, anyone here buy it?
Would be a good car for a 2.4 diesel swap. That would be cool 2.4, 4-speed, bare bones wagon.

I'd leave it alone since gas wagons are soooo rare in this country

True. Someone got a good price. $1,800 for a california wagon with 134,000. Just needs doors.

The one that had been on Ebay was $4,500 which is a little high for me. It did look clean and so did this white one.
Would like to drive that wagon with a 2.0 and 4 speed, that would be a fun experience.
