Sorry if there's a better place for this, but i couldnt think of any place where i could find car lovers like you that were open to questions. So, when i got my license, my dad bought me a 1992 190E 2.3 with 170k miles. She was in rough shape, and didnt last long before it couldn't last any longer.
My local shop- a damned decent one just west of Indianapolis- states that she needs the head gasket replaced (which i knew upon driving her for the first time), a new fuel distributor, and fuel sensor. ~$3000.
My father didn't even pay 3k for the thing. It's not fiscally viable for us.
She's essentially a hole in my driveway, and i, like most 17 year old boys, really could use a working car. The thing is, the interior is in fantastic shape, she rides fantastically, and when she ran, she ran damned well. I can't send this machine to be crushed and made into refrigerators when i know someone, somewhere could save her.
So, what's the best way to keep a broken-down, 21 year-old, German luxury car with a nearly perfect interior from her scrapyard fate (and make back at least a little bit of what we paid for her)?
