Well if I find a sloppy front suspension I don't want it. I can accept the broken radio and the tack and temp guge...those are easy fixes as parts are easy to find.


But mostly is there are a few 126 300SD's I am keeping my eye on. This car is great shape....with no rust any of the usual spots or anywhere else I looked for that matter.

He isn't going to drop much if any.......He paid 2,600 for it 2 months ago and paid $300 to fix an issue where it blew fuse for wiper motor. His bottom line is break even. But it will be a few days before I can get out to check the front end. Navy blue with Palamino interior. Nice but a 126 is more what I want..............under 150,000 miles in great shape with no rust, and at a fair price. My annual milage has been under 20,000 lately....at that rate it might rust out before it wears out.

And I absolutely HATE rusty cars. Or ones that appear cosmeticly rough.
