Or did I?
low miles 153k
you could literally eat off the engine, it has the #14 head AND the crimp on vacuum pump.
has not been driven since 2002. was on a non op title, started right up ran and drove excellent, rear slightly bouncy due to defective accumulators.
the car was dissasembled internally for a detail by a crackpot tech who lost the door panels and all the wood before he dissapeared. except for a few minor paint chips the car is as new, i have a 2" stack of invoices for all the parts the previous owner did befor his tech vanished.

so after going through everything i am feeling like i have my work cut out for me, first and foremost i need to find grey doorpanels.

great to be back with a Diesel again, now if i can only get it put back togeather!!

i can tell by your sig that you're a wise man. you were smart to sell the SDL, but keep the c43--it's a keeper! also, you've now got a 2.3 and a 2.6 190e. these are great cars, and you know it, otherwise you wouldn't own two. why not make it a collection and get yourself a nice 2.3-16v once you sell the c43? trust me you will fall in love with this car
