The car is going cheap now and seems a good buy but mostly
have to be bought in cash...
Masterpiece versions have the newer gen. engines DOHC 16 and 24 valves.

But be careful when buying one insist on service records.
The main injection harness is known to deteriorate and if
not checked/changed it can short the ECU resulting in expensive
repairs

ZZR is correct, many "masterpieces" out there r older W124, but upgraded
cosmetically to master piece.
