"German performance sedan"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Where do I start?

Replaced the following:

Water pump.

Rear differential.

Headlight switch.

Hatch lock.

Interior plastic pieces.

Alternator.

Turbo (2x).

Power steering unit.

Radiator.

Fan.

Timing belt.

Rebuilt head.

Heater control valve.

All new hoses and exhaust system.

These are just the things that I can think of off-hand.

General comments?

When the car runs it is great. Power comes on very quickly for a turbocharged vehicle, and passing is not a problem.

These cars come as standard with many 'extra' features like power windows, heated seats, and sunroofs as pretty much standard equipment.

Finding parts is becoming increasingly hard, which makes repairing difficult.

My husband and I love our Merkur which now has 199,940 miles on the clock. This is with the original turbo!! Have had to do a few things to it and don't know why it sometimes hesitates... despite this...we love it!
