Someone talk me out of this W116

as you can tell from the pictures, its a 450SE
88,xxx kil. on it
sorry about the cellphone quality pics...
AGH!
german guy said "make me an offer" I didn't drive it but around the area it was parked...
everything seemed alright, might need a tune up, some cleaning & tweaking... then again, first 116 i've ever looked at... sooooo



but before I do that, I'm stalking a clean W126 500SEL

I say, grab it. The 116 is a nice car. Looks to be a 73 with manual climate controls.

I have a clean hood you can have for $75 if you can figure out a way to get it from SE Wisconsin.

If it is a 73, its a djet before the emmission controls choked the 4.5.
It should move pretty good.

I'd drive it door to door for around $100 (fuel/munchies for such a trip)

BUY IT!!!

my issue would be maint.

I could totally drive to get the new hood, might need to locate a sunroof as well, pending actual rust issue
underside is damn near spotless. UGH

I want it sooo bad...
i'm trying to do research via 4-5 different forums...

I hate this part...
this car, is actually stressing me out

LOL
