'95 E320 Cabrio, '87 325e
Picked up a '95 E320 cabrio
Well, this is my second Mercedes, my first was a '95 S320. Needless to say, I am very familiar with the issues of Mercedes from this era.
Anyway, on to the cabrio. It's smoke silver with tan leather interior and a brown top. 194k miles, 2 owner, the second owner being my moms friend who purchased it starmark in '98. I have EVERY service record since new and they are numerous. The headgasket, evap, wiring harness, top hydraulic cylinders, transmission and numerous other items have already been replaced at the dealer.
I paid 2k for the car so I figure I got one good deal. The A/C compressor is on its way out but I've already ordered a replacement and will replace it myself. So far I love the car, it drives really well and is in great shape. Front end probably needs some work soon, but its totally livable at the moment.
Here is a picture with my E30, will get some more pictures posted shortly. I'll probably just put some aero IIs on it, drop it and call it a day. Not going to pretend this is a performance car. In fact I may just leave it bone stock, any suggestions? Glad to be back in a Mercedes, it's been 5 years already.

She sold it because the A/C died and it's been very hot this summer. She knows she can get more for it private sale but she would rather it go to someone she knows. I think I was the first and only person she talked to about selling. Either way, 2k for a very well maintained 124 Cabrio is something I just couldn't pass up.
Oh and if you were wondering, she sold it and bought a Subaru Forester... Go figure.
Also, whats a good product to use on the top in terms of protection from the sun? I was going to stick with the aerospace 303 product line as they have always performed well for me in the past on both boats and cars. Any suggestions are welcome though.
