Guys I'm looking at 85' 190e 2.3 has 265,000 and is automatic. Any info on what to watch out for would be greatly appreciated.

As long you realize that the car is 22 years old & has already lived a long life then spend your $500. I would have the car looked over first.

Thanks for the advice. I will take the car to shop. Is there a standard service I should ask for? How many hour should I reasonable pay for?

After 150K miles, people just tend to wait for the car to die on them. My advice is buy the service manual and be active on this forum. You'll save a ton of cash.

It may be my old one if it had some history in Alabama.

Black. How much did you sell it for? Think it came from SC.
