Zytek_Fan finally bought a car!
I bought a 1992 Mercedes-Benz E320.
It's got higher miles, but everything (!) works. A/C needs to be recharged, but other than that it, it is excellent.
It rides very nice, the transmission shifts how it should.

I'll have pictures up tomorrow, because it is dark now

Wicked! You bit the bullet finally!

Hopefully it runs well man - I'm a bit embarrassed as I am a few years older than you and am nowhere near close to owning a car.

It was a pretty good deal I think. $1550. The guy wanted $1800, but it does have a crack in the windscreen that will prompt a replacement before it starts getting cold, so we got it for $1550.

First on the list is: Bentley Publishers Mercedes W124 manuals, new stereo headunit, K&N air filter, new windscreen, and maybe a sub and amp if possible.

Keep it ghetto. By the way, we live in America.. call it a windshield. Don't give in to the European nomenclature.
