There is something wrong with that car. The M103s are pretty quick. If you guys want real speed you need something like my neighbors Trans Am which has been totally tricked out with special clutch, beefed differential, sticky rear slicks, tuned exhaust, and nitrous oxide ingection. He eats motor cycles. I have owned several M103s and still own a few and find them quite adequate for passing on two lane roads. Most of the time we drive my wife's 89 300CE. It is a beautiful car. I could buy a newer car, but why? It does everything I want it to do, and the beauty of the 89 is if the fuel pump relay craps out I toss in the one from the glove compartment. If that craps out, I use a paper clip to keep the car running to get back home. If the main computer craps out, I take it out and toss it in the trunk and complete my trip. You lose a computer in a 91 and newer and you're screwed.

I think the price of the car you are looking at is over priced though. I'd look around for a better one at a better price. You don't say where on the planet you are, but even in the S.F. Bay Area, that's way too much.
