88 300 E sunroof question

Yes, you can repair both yourself... but you need to get a great price on the car to justify the risk... especially the mileage.

$2995 plus tax, reduced from $3495. I drove it, runs OK,, brakes OK, AC may need refrigerant (compressor seems to kick in, but air is not cold). No descernable rust anywhere. Rubber is mebbe ~75%. All windows work. Only real down side is the status of the AC. And perhaps that the colour is white which is not my favourite at all.

Nah... I'd wait for something better... There are better cars for that price and get the color you want. AC can cost you a ton... especially if you need a compressor.

Okey-dokey. The friend locally that "gave me the bug" to buy has advised to not look at anything with non-functioning AC. She spend about $6K on her 86 300E and still doesn't have it working.

Oops, I just spent 2100 EUR including labor on a new aftermarket AC for my 86 250D.

The kit was from:

I have a friend in NJ... who got a white 1993 300E. .. that needs a tranny valve body rebuilt... everything else works... and he is asking $3000.

Yikes. Mebbe I should have said that over the ten years that she has had the 300E, she has spend the $6K on the AC to no avail.
