Good Morning Folks. Today I'm going to look at a 280E, 1984 (123 ? or is there a 124 for this year?) It was brought in from Europe by people who were in the business of converting Euro cars to U.S. emission standards. They brought this one in for themselves and have been the only owners of the car. They're asking $3 K. I have been searching for info regarding these cars and have gained some knowledge from people here in this forum. I cannot seem to ascertain a "value" for the car since NADA and Bluebook don't list the car. I am also concerned about finding the correct parts for the car since it's a "gray market". Other than the usual "checks" when I look at and drive the car, should I look for anything in particular. The search showed that these cars sometimes have low compression and even tend to blow headgaskets... any other knowledge will be appreciated.
