Euro 123 280 E 4-Speed

I am surprised this did not get more interest. I watched very closely, and was twitching in the direction of "Make Bid"

What should be watched out for in cases like this?

No AC - looks like the bracket is there, but no compressor. Cloth interior, potential gray market issues on emissions and repairs, rust in rear above exhaust, overpriced for mileage and condition. Lots of non-stock gizmos for Federalizations. Very difficult to sell - the market likes US cars and sedans with automatics.

Why?

Apodman,

The euro models usually came with fuel injection, whereas the regular U.S. models were carbuerated. The euro models were obviously better but difficult to smog. Euro models also got much better mileage.
