86 Sdl
There's an 86 SDL for sale locally that I might look at. This has the engine that tends to have head problems right? Apart from that, any other known problems I should inspect for? What do you SDL owners think of them?

Great vehicle for driving on the highway. Due to transmission and engine torque characteristics, not too swift in the city unless you push it harder than it prefers. Too big to park comfortably in the city.
All parts are much more costly than what you currently spend on the W123. If you wish to maintain it properly, you're looking at $2K per year.........minimum. You can spend significantly more.............. Naturally, you can drive it and fix nothing.........should you choose to go that route, but, the driveability and reliability would not be up to standards. A decent one has less than 150K on the clock and sells for $4K to $8K depending on condition. The head is aluminum and is subject to cracks if it has ever been overheated in its past.

Someone else must have snatched it up already. It was only on Craigslist for about an hour. 146k miles and $2900

 Some of these vehicle drive perfectly well and need $5K worth of parts to return them to factory standards.
