I think I'm going to go for it.

W201 gassers with manual transmissions,
don't exactly grow on trees, either.

For the price you are thinking of paying, it is not much of a gamble either

But get all the books records and history you can. Neglected ones can cost a lot to fix....

Good luck if you really do pull the trigger. It really looks good in that color with those wheels
