Sounds like you must have some knowledge of this particular car. Small World. Anything you could tell me will be appreciated. Thanks.
It used to be 2nd and 4th. You will certainly need a tranny. The've known this for quite awhile, so I hope they were up front in their auction.
I loved the car, and for the right price would have been all over it. Back when I drove it it shifted from first to third. You had to let off for the first to third, then keep it in S so it wouldn't try for 4th.
Interior was nice, suspension felt great. Paint is leaving, but presentable.
Best year/model 190d I believe. You're just gonna need a tranny or a rebuild. Be careful of a used tranny, as these seem to always go at some point, much sooner than the 123 and 126 trannies.
Care to give a link to your auction, so I could read their ad?
Good luck and enjoy the car. After a tranny of course.......
