US cars if that vintage have wiring harness issues. Could be why it was abandoned. The main engine harness has a tag with a date code where it plugs into the modules behind the battery. A new harness costs about $700 in the US. Replacement takes basic skills and an understanding of how take apart MB connectors without breaking anything.

Definitely worth evaluating the condition. Look for rust, and excessive mileage (over 250K miles) first. If it is an M104 2.8L L6 they were VERY nice cars. Judging from the picture that could be a gem. Over 250K miles it can get expensive to bring it back if it was not well maintained...transmission...suspension etc. My 93 was a 3.2L M104 that ran for 360K miles (not km) and was an absolute pleasure to drive.


Good luck and keep us posted!!!

Woow... Hearing from you make me want to bring this car to life , but well what can I say, I have a very limited budget & skill, maybe it' s better to get evaluated first from the MB mechanic, find out how much will I spend to fix all of the car's problems. Thanks so much Sugar Bear.

Yeap, that's what I have in mind because it is really really an old car & abandoned for years, re-wiring would be necessary if I buy this car, thanks sixto to remind me.
