88K miles and loaded. Who can argue with the price? $1100.

Damn, that is deep in derby territory, pricewise and location both. Hopefully, this will find a new owner that won't be crashing it.

 

hey, hey, hey

Oh, to have already won big in the Lottery ! Rush in, save it. Would probably end up flipping it, as I'm soft on Colony Parks. But it needs to not be taken down the derby route. It's not a rust bucket or tired and worn out or beat to near death. It needs a good home and a sympathetic owner.

 

The very first thing to check on this is the frame. Being in rust country, and the places where rust has been (badly) repaired, there is a good chance the frame is shot right behind both front wheels. By the look of it, this one has the top line option package plus who knows what else added individually. If so, not only does it have climate control, full trip computer, not just clock, and the top shelf High Level Sound System (6 speakers, 6 channel amp, and top of the line AM Stereo/FM Stereo/Tape Deck, all JBL), it will have power seats both sides and cornering lamps plus a bunch more. It is one very well equipped example, and well worth the price in parts if nothing else.

 

This is not the first time this one has been listed...
I remember the 'discolored' paint on lower quarter....

 

I noticed that lower quarter panel too. I would like to see photos of the rest of the car.

 

Same here... but if its as good as it looks so far... I prefer the earlier 80 Mercs simply for the front end appearance... but certain exceptions may be considered. I like what I've seen of the interior of this one.
