car: 1992: 160K miles. Not a good record of ownership, CA car- no rust, nice interiors (as far as I saw while test driving) paint suffered from CA sun (clear coat cracked on micro scale). No good repair history but all seems to be stock.

Engine is quick, although I had to step on the pedal quite a bit until it went. Shift points are low (not like the 500e).

I am looking for a daily driver to keep over many, many years.

what about climate control? pita like the W126

Is the car in quality compared to the W126?
