I've read that early 140s have better build materials but suffer from more problems such as the wiring harness and the evap core business. I have the time and will power (as well as hair!) to install new parts, rebuild the SLS, etc. These bits do not worry me as I have access to a lift and a mechanics mind to pick.

What year was the last of the better leather in the interior? For some reason I think 1995?

Didn't the headlights change too at some point?



Basically, if you were in the market for a first gen 140, which would be the best year?

Thanks!
