Hi all,

I am new to the forum, I have been looking for a while but just decided to register - at last!

So, I am going to look at a 1982 Mercedes 200, I am not a big car expert but I am a huge fan of old classic cars.
Is there any particular things I should look out for? Any common problems with these?

Any help/advice is much appreciated!

 

Thanks for the advice!
I have actually managed to find a few more, one was an automatic Mercedes 123 - 240, just a bit more expensive though....
It will be my first Merc and it is going for a great price - I am sure there are better available but money talks and if it does not have any problems, it could be a good buy..?

 

Just wanted to know if for example they had common suspension problems, gearbox problems, I will obviously be checking everything but was looking for indication on what to keep an eye out for.
One friend insists that they are bomb proof...

 

I am now the owner of a Mercedes 123, my first Merc!!!
