I drove by my Indy's shop the other day and saw a 420SEL sitting out front with $5500 and "Sweet" painted on the windshield. Called him today about some work I'm thinking about doing on the 300TD and asked him about the SEL. I thought he said it was an '87, and has about 230K on it. It supposedly is single owner, belonged to the owner of an oilfield tool company in Houston, who has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and the family wants to sell the car. Completely maintained according to the books, and the quick look I got, it was very nice. Price is firm, and according to my Indy, a bargain. I'm going by tomorrow afternoon to take a more detailed look and have him put it up on a rack for me.
Anybody have any thoughts about why I shouldn't jump on this one? (other than the fact that it's NOT a diesel...) Royce Engler '85 300TD 298K
