I have had my wife driving a benz for about 6 years now. She started with an 86 300E and traded it off when it only had 280,000 on it. (A co-worker of mine is still driving it.) MLW (my lovely wife) now drives a 97 C230. I am considering an 81 280 CE. What should I know about this car? Is the DOHC touchy? High maintenance? Oddball/rare parts? What about fuel economy?
Thanks
Dan
