Same car, new owner :).
Just bought my fathers '94 E320. He posted a few times a couple years ago (i made this account for him)..then stopped driving the car. Its sat next to the house for the last 2 years or so unused and untouched. He said he wanted to sell it. I was looking for another car to buy to take over as a daily driver because i did not want to endure another winter driving my 3'' off the ground 951.
I washed it earlier but definetley needs a polish and the interior had some mildew in it. I Lysol'ed the heck outta everything and sprinkled baking soda over the carpets. Going to vacuum up tomorrow, then reclean everything over again.
Has around 95k miles on it and still runs fantastic. Started up with a jump, no clacking lifters or anything. It needs a few things done to it...
1) Throttle pedal needs some adjustment.. alot of play from the time you push the pedal down to the time the throttle plate actually moves
2) Drivers rear window regulator needs to be replaced
3) Drivers side headlight has a crack and is now a fish bowl
4) Badly needs to be detailed
5) Badly needs to be driven!
Its great to have another German car to drive.. im a bit of a nut when it comes to them
.
And here is my other money pit..previously my daily driver..and yes i drove it in the snow!

Throttle adjustment is very simple on this car. Mine had the same issue. Adjustment is located at the throttle body where the throttle cabmle attaches. take like 2 minutes. Congradulations on the car.
