I am pretty sure I decided to sell this the last time I drove it. I just barely drive the car anymore.
I know I posted that big list of stuff I'd want to do to make it perfect, but realistically the car would be fine to drive across the country as it sets.
Issues:
RTABs probably need to be replaced, but it drives and handles fine as is. I'd guess it would be better with these replaced.
Control arms maybe need to be replaced (can be as cheap as 200, but you should probably get the nicer ones for 530)
Washer fluid reservoir (I'll fix this)
Rod bearings are currently fine, but who knows for how long. Some people make it to 200k on stock rod bearings, some make it to 80k.
If anyone here is seriously interested, let me know. Honestly with a car like this I'd prefer not to sell it to someone I know since the car could have any number of issues show up suddenly. It's been a very reliable example for me, but with old german cars you never know.
