Some advice if you please. I am going to look at a 1986 190E-16V this saturday. The gentleman told me that the car has 155k mile on it . He also mentioned that there is a shifter problem ( something to do with a ball in the shifter that has gone bad) and that the throw-out bearing is probably frozen up. Are these things deal breakers with this model and are there some basic things that I should be looking out for? I am a volvo owner that is looking to make the switch to a MB. Also, he is only asking 900.00 for the whole unit. He told me that the repair cost of the shifter and bearing is 1000.00(mostly labor he said)
