I am thinking about buying a 1984 380 sl 5 speed euro version. Any praise?? Any things I should watch out for??? What would be good price?? Excellent condition and 65000 miles. One owner.
I have 1985 500sel with AMG package. Great car, but it now has 170k on it and we keep having small problems pop up. Its my wife's car, so I get an earful when the slightest things happen. It has been dripping AT fluid for about a year now, not bad, just enough to make a mess in garage. I spent about $600 to have new front pump seal put in it, which fixed it for about two weeks. Now that it is leaking again, I am ready to buy something with less miles on it and manual transmission! Was our first mercedes and even though it was 15 years old when we bought it, it has been one of the best cars we have ever owned.
