Anyone have one of these? Just wondering aq few questions. What type of gas mileage to expect, how difficult to work on, Shocks, brakes, regular wear and tear stuff?

I have a 94 Honda that is starting to show it's age with 170K miles on it. It is slowly burning oil, the ABS light is now on and I just failed emissions. Well my mother never throws anything out so she tells me I can take the 87 Merc. My intial opinion on the car is that is drives like it new, just had a used engine put in it (mileage unknown), it needs some body work but nothing I couldn't do with some minimal work, the driver side window is broken (seems the motor work but the tracking is off), cracked front light, interior is like new. Oh, the front brakes stuck a bit this morning but loosened it self free and worked fine the rest of my commute. The car has been sitting for a couple years so I expected a few things like this.

Anyways, I am debating whether to fix Honda or use Merc. The thing I like about the Merc is that i feel with any Merc, like Porsches; is that they have a special charm.

Thanks,

David
