I may be interested in getting an R107 sometime. I love that classy body style. My questions are regarding buying tips. Are there certain model years that are not so good or really great? Any major makeovers? Which engines are good, bad? Any "must-have" option(s)...and so on. Of course a 560SL would be nice, but I don't think I want to spend that much right now. I saw a NICE one the other day...'86 560, shiny black, grey leather, 60 some thousand miles.....23 grand! So I may be lookin for a 450 maybe because of price. I wouldn't matter if it were a little rough around the edges so I wouldn't have to worry about it as much as I do that enough with my 420! I also want to take it on some roadtrips, so reliability is a definite factor. Thanks for any tips.
