Advice for a first time 250SE buyer

Hi,

I am looking to get into a 250 SE convertible. One of the local shops is willing to trade for one of my other cars.
I also have other local dealers that will trade me too when they get one in, I am in no rush.
I am not at all familiar with a 250SE except that I had a coupe for a short time in the 70's and I still like them.
Can I get some pointers on what to look for?

Thanks
jack

just make sure it's a true convertible..

you will be lucky if there are not leaks...especially from steering rack

you can tell a lot from an owner...if they replaced rubber parts as needed


no rust, either
