Out of curiosity, why do you prefer the 1985 to, say, the 1984? I've heard it said that the 1985 has many oddities that may be difficult to replace if they fail, whereas the '84 doesn't have these fusses, as 1982-1984 cars are all interchangeable. Some of the 1981s came with turbos, but they used the 300SD engine/transmission such that when ordering some parts (e.g., cruise control parts), you need to order W126 parts.
