I picked this up on 13 November 2015, sort of ominous being Friday the 13th. Had a set back with the Sleeper Part Deux -- tow truck guy smashed the front end of it on 30 OCT 15 ... and he has no insurance, so that will be another story chasing him around for the damages.

This is a 1982 W123 240D, Signal Red. What caught my eye was the following:

1. NO RUST. A few dings of course, but no rot. So, pretty happy with that

2. NO Sunroof -- that is a major plus for me.

3. All manual, except tranny which is OK since I have a Getrag 717.400

4. Documented 131K on the clock

So, after driving it home the next morning, there was an oil spot about the size of a softball by the pan. So, second day home consisted of changing the oil and replacing the pan gasket.
