Hello, new friend!

Phillytwotank · #8 01-20-2015, 02:23 PM

I had been thinking about it for some time now. While my '78 coupe is still rolling strong, I was ready for an upgrade.

JHZR2 · #9 01-20-2015, 02:50 PM

I want one!

Is it getting egt and an exhaust cutout etc?

I had helped two different friends find and buy w124 diesels of their own in the past year. Now it is my turn.

Didn't have to look too far. After a couple of turd lookers I went down to Charleston SC this past weekend to check this one out.

Checked everywhere for wetness,water,water damage,rust and could find none. No history of accidents and no evidence of any body repairs. A couple little things but nothing serious. Some body filler repair cracking on the trunk lid and a mis matched headlight situation up front.

I could tell by driving that it's still pretty strong at 235,000. Steering/Ride all fells pretty good. New tires. Climate control works A/C and Heat. Seems to constantly blow out the defrost no matter the mode. Cruise Control works. Pretty much everything else works as it should. Interior is very nice.

Only a couple of bads but the good far out weigh the bads on this one.

Oh yeah! it's going to get some vroom vroom.

Greazzer is doing the injectors this week. I'm reading up on the pressure waste gate Mod. EGR delete and all that goodie stuff.

Boost and EGT gauge will be installed over top of the holes left from the old cell phone holder.

Not familiar with the exhaust cut out. I imagine that's just what it sounds like. What else?

....with a light interior for those warm Summer days. Nice.

For Sure! Just like over in Abu Dhabi. A/C works and I'll be getting the windows tinted 30%.

Was "Kenny" the seller? Glad to hear the car is nice, I called Kenny once about a very similar car that he was selling, the moment I asked some basic questions, his response set off red flags. This was a couple years ago, but I noticed the same car has been advertised on CL every six months or so since then.
