If the PrePurchase Inspection checks out, I would not pay more than $3,500 USA dollars.

The sunroof will cost $$$$ to repair.

ONE euro head light will cost you approx $300 USA dollars to replace.

Getting new wheels will cost you $500-2000.

Body work and a paint job will cost you anywhere between $1000-3000.

I also have an 86 300E. My sunroof also don't work perfectly, I just keep it closed. My headlights have those nasty plastic USA covers. I bought a slightly used one from someone on this forum for $40. I bought new wheels for $1000. The paint on mine is O.K. I also have a couple of rust spots (but remember these are 18year old cars!) but I'm going to leave it alone for now. If the car is still running tight in 5years, I'll keep it and fix everything on it and give it a new paint job. I orginally bought it for $3,500 and put in about $4,000 in repairs so far. I've owned the car for 3years so that averges out to a little over $2000/year....sure beats having a $500/month car payment.
