About 2 weeks ago I traded my 95 harley Road King for an 85 380sl. This is my first after owning 3 BMW's (bad word) and find the information here invaluable. We have put more miles on the car than I did on the bike all last year! Everything seems to work, smooth engine, no slapping, good power and a wonderful drive for a 27 year old car. Mileage is somewhat high at 160k, but the rest of the car is beautiful silver and black, 2 owner. Had a compression check and coolant pressure check and all ok. This forum is way above the competition and I am enjoying every minute, Now, I hope I did not jinx myself! Cheers!:thumbsup:

Welcome to the forum. A wealth of knowledge can be found here. Hopefully you got/can get service records for your car. They are worth their weight in gold. Enjoy the ride.

ps...grew up in the Alton area near St. Louis.

Nice looking 380, looks like its in excellent shape, what was the value of your Harley?

About $7000, it only had 18,000 miles and was super clean. Really wasn't looking to trade, but I'm glad I did so far. Wife did not want another 'oldcar' but now i can't keep her out of it!
