Nothing more expensive, than a cheap Mercedes.

187K is not too bad on the milage for an 83, but the spedometers are known to fail at times. may have more miles than shown. I`ve had mine fixed twice in the past 11 yrs.

Not leather, most likely MB Tex.

AC can be expensive. there are good write up here how to trouble shoot. staying with R12 is better for these old 123`s with their marginal systems. 134 is cheaper but have to do some work to change over and not as efficient.

Cruise control. there was just a thread on resoldering the printed cercuit board last week. some have had good results. there are a after market Audio-Vox system some had results with. do a search on it. can be expensive to fix

shocks, stay with Bilstein. check on the parts tab above.

leaky injecors, most likely the small rubber hose going from injector to injector. over flow hose. just replace.

oil pressure stays pegged above 1300 RPM or so. comes cown at idle, normal

water in trunk may be to have the rear glass seal replaced. may be rust under there when removing.

faided pealing clear coat, they all do it, depends how much weather sun and how much the car was garaged.
