I have posted a message regarding my desire to add to my fleet...
Well, it happened today. I bought a 1986 240Dl sedan for 1500 bucks.
It's in wonderful condition with only 99K. All the records dating back many years indicate that the miles are real.
The current owner told me that the first owner (he's second) was a 90 year old woman who lost her license to drive due to old age. He bought it several years ago with 60k. He's done a tone of work on it in the past two years.
New alternator, rear trailing arm bushings, new battery, two year old radiator-timing belt & tensioner, new power steering pump and hoses, new head light, tranny flush a month ago
The only thing that concerns me is the engine harness, it appears in excellent condition as far as I can tell. Though the harness is bundled up and the only wires I can see (sticking out at a couple of places along the firewall) seems fine.
The owner reported some electrical problems relating to wipers not working and head lights not working, but that's been fixed for 200 bucks.
He showed me perfect oil change records at 3k intervals. There's no rust because it lived in California all its life. Absolutely no crack on the dash.
My question is should I change the harness soon? What are other problems I should watch out for?
