Why am I seeing so many of these cars for sale for so little?
Looking on the local CL I see bunches of these in the sub-$10,000 range with
decent mileage and what appear to be good histories?
What's the deal? Is there some nastiness lurking in the shadows on this model?

Kaleb,
re: Used engines
When searching for a used engine, I would not receive any response when asking
about verification of mileage which raised flags and, since my engine went
south with good maintenance and w/o warning, who's to say another high mileage
617 wouldn't do the same.
Rick,
Re:
Are you saying you found engines on car part and tried to email them and no
response? Most of those salvages do not do a good job with email so you have to
call them. Who cares about mileage at this point on those cars, a compression
test would be much more important and informative

You could order leather as an option, as you could cloth as well. If I recall,
it did add some time to delivery, since neither was a stock option for the US
spec cars, I believe.
When my Dad ordered his 81 380SL, I remember them giving him the choices, but

Dunno. MBNA/MBUSA tends to load everything that drives up the price
onthe take it or leave it US cars. I don't think leather was
common at all before 1980, even on the S cars. 1980 to 88 (downturn)
seem to have a lot of leather, even in 240Ds.

In my limited experience, it was rare for an S class to NOT have

Two things to check.
First is that there is suction past the interior temp sensor (in the
dash, I think). If not, the foam hose under the dash between the
plastic pipe and the fan box has fallen apart and you are getting zero
air movement past the sensor from the fan, resulting wide

Yup.
If the foam bypass tube has deteriorated (broken down to dust and now missing)

pipe insulation will replace it perfectly and you'll even have enough left over
to use in another 20 years.
