1981 240d non-turbo
 

I HAVE JUST REGISTERED AND I AM QUITE ANXIOUS TO POSE A SITUATION AND RECEIVE YOUR COMMENTS/OPINIONS/ADVICE.

I'M BEING OFFERED AN 81 240D WITH SIX THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED MILES ON THE ODOMETER ! 1ST THINGS 1ST, THE PRICE IS $16,500.00.

THE ODOMETER IS VERIFIABLE, LADY TRAVELING IN EUROPE BUYS THE CAR IN GERMANY(WEST GERMANY THEN) USES IT IN HER TRAVELS AND THEN SHIPS IT HOME. HER EXPERIENCE WITH THE CAR (SHE WAS 50 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME) WAS THAT IT WAS TOO SLOW.... ) SHE HATED IT. PUTS IT IN STORAGE AND ONLY BOTHERS REGISTERING THE CAR WHEN HER NIECE VISITS AND USES THE CAR.

ASSUMING AGAIN THAT EVERYTHING'S ABSOLUTELY VERIFIABLE AND THE CAR IS AS I'M TOLD PRISTINE, MINT, ETC., ETC.

WHAT IS A GOOD/FAIR PRICE AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE BESIDE THAT WHICH I'M TOLD HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE WHICH IS:
DRAIN FUEL TANK
REPLACE FUEL LINES
NEW A/C GENERATOR( SEALS WERE SHOT)
CHANGED ALL(?) FLUIDS

i WON'T HAVE PICTURES UNTIL TOMORROW.

I'M AN FNG AND AM IN NEED OF SOME SAGE ADVICE, PLEASE !
