I have an 85 380SE. I like having a shorter wheelbase model vs 420 and 560SEL.
Let me know what specs you are looking for and I will reply. This year is the double chain model which is good and the 3.8 engine is adequate in power although not as quick as 420 or 560 but on the road it cruises just as well...solid and quiet. I had to have upper control arms replaced as I was getting crunch sound when turning wheel going into driveway. Need to check oaut all front end suspension/steering componets..torn boots, etc. Also like the fact that it uses regular gas !.It is pretty easy to do many DIY repairs liek shocks, brakes, fuel filter, pump, accumulator, plugs wires, etc.
Mine had 94,000 miles when I purchased it and previous owners kept repairs and maintenance up to date but there will be things to do, I'm sure, so budget accordingly. Mine had not been driven very much in the last 7-8 years so many aaitems just needed perked up like cleaning window switches, seat switches. The crusie control probablyu will not work due to faulty cruise amplifier but this is typical.
