[W124] looking for one of these

[Alec Cordova]

I think I've only seen two other W124 coupes in the Austin area besides
mine. I've got the maroon, or claret, I've seen a black one several times,
and I believe I've seen a white or light gray one once or twice. Autotrader
shows a pair of 89s (same as mine) in this area, although one has been there
for quite a while, and it's been pimped up a bit. There's also a black 93
convertible with 104K miles, but they want $20K for it. You'll probably need
to look in Houston or D/FW. Autotrader lists a few in those cities.

I lucked into mine something like 8 years ago from a local private seller in
northwest Austin. She's fast approaching 199K right now.

Remember that these got the 24-valve M104 motor for the 1990 model year, and
the Bosch fuel injection was upgraded in 91, so don't rule out a 91 or 92
model.

Happy hunting,

Hello All,

Just found this site while obtaining info (on what appears to be wonderful
cars!!)

I'm looking for a '93 + no smokiing car with <100,000 miles in great shape
overall--anybody have one like this they want to part with or know where one
might be?  It would be much appreciated; by the way, I'm in the Central
Texas (Austin) area.  Thanx.
