Re: [MBZ] I shoulda bought a Beemer in '73
I used to work with a guy who owned one of these. He bought it as his "dream car" but it was also his daily driver. It seemed to need thousands of dollars of maintenance and repair a few times a year (he didn't work on his own cars). He finally tired of it and bought a Subaru.

Boy its a shame they didn't make more of those, what a lovely car. -Curt On Wednesday, September 2, 2020, 1:08:59 PM EDT, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes wrote: Bidding insanity has no limit when it comes to these cars.
