[W126 Coupe] 1983 380 SL

[GreyGarageRuss at aol.com]

Hi Guys and Gals.  My son is looking into purchasing a 1983 380  SL.  I saw 
it with him tonight.  It appears to be in fairly good shape  and supposedly 
never winter driven for at least past 20 years.  A few small  rust bubbles here 
and there.  O.K. for a 24 year old car??  Hard top  doesn't seem to fit that 
well even though owner (3rd) says that he has never had  it off and isn't even 
sure if there is a soft top under it.  Leather seats  have a fair amount of 
wear for a car with only 63,000 miles on it.   Pushing the pedal to the medal 
didn't provide a great response but I was  comparing it to my 88 560 SEC. The 
asking price is about $12,000.
 
Do any of you know if this year/model have had any major problems which my  
son should look for?  
 
Thanks for any input.
