Dieselvolk,
In my desperate current desparate state (no AC in my wagon) I'm considering
the purchase of subject named automobile. Price is right, lady is selling
it due to an electrical problem, description of condition indicates a decent
runner with working AC. No idea on the mileage, I'll be looking at the car
later in the week.
So, as far as I can tell without having seen the car, it's a 123.033 with
110.998 engine?? I think that it is a grey market import because of the
five speed - can anyone confirm of one could purchase a 280E in 1981 at the
dealership? With a 5 speed transmission?
According to the 1985 TDM, engine is 110.988 (in years 83-84-85). According
to another source, engine is 110.984, and 280E was sold in US from
1977-1981, but the second source is a little flaky.
Any information about this particular model would be appreciated, including
mileage, fuel system (carbs or fuel injection).
Very respectfully,
/s/
