Well, it's a W116, so you know that it has a terminal case of rust and the climate controls don't work, regardless of what the seller says. And it's an OM617, so you know that it has been run hard and put away wet, because everyone knows those engines run forever with no maintenance. Call me cynical, but I have just about stopped going to look at old cars for the time being because of so many mendacious, malicious, or just plain moronic sellers. I think the last straw was the guy with a 123 240D who told me on the phone that the heat and A/C in the car worked just fine. When I got there, there was no belt on the A/C compressor, and the heat was blowing full force all the time regardless of the control settings--he told me that the way to control the temperature was by opening and closing the dash vents.
