^^ What he said. Also, be careful and take time to check the tabs on the bottom of the subframe where the lower control arm bolts. MB screwed the pooch and they crack. If that happens when you are driving ( and when else would it happen?) you won't have a good day. 72-80 450s are covered by recall. 86-89 560s were redesigned. 81-85 380s and euros - SOL.


Prices seem fair, assuming these are not "basket case" cars. You shouldn't expect a show winner for those prices, but something that's not an embarrassment at least.

Mileage is getting up there. Ours has 155k now ( time for a badge!) but doesn't burn any oil and runs quite well considering a Dodge Neon has more horsepower...

I would look for a 560, unless you are sure the front subframe has been addressed.
